London - Boris Becker says Andy Murray is ‘totally out of order’ for saying he has been suspicious of his opponents doping in the past.
Becker, who coaches world No 1 Novak Djokovic, said: ‘We have random drug testing and unless it’s proven, they are 100 per cent innocent. So to assume something because somebody has won a Grand Slam or is fitter is totally out of order.
‘Andy is one of the fittest players on tour - he often outlasts players and nobody is questioning his ethics.’ In an interview with the Mail On Sunday, Murray, who welcomed Maria Sharapova’s ban for taking banned drug meldonium, said: ‘I have played against players and thought “They don’t seem to be getting tired”. Have I ever been suspicious of someone? Yeah.’
Becker, speaking at the Laureus World Sport Awards, added: ‘I believe 100 per cent Andy is clean. Roger is clean, Rafa is clean, all these guys are clean. Novak gets tested a lot. That can mean twice in a Grand Slam.’
