Results in: Haas Not Poisoned

by Erica on November 27th, 2007

A couple months ago, controversy swirled around the allegations that Tommy Haas was poisoned at a Davis Cup match in Moscow.

Haas pulled out of his match against Mikhail Youzhny with a suspected stomach virus which gave the 3-2 win to the Russians and a trip to the Davis Cup final. A German teammate of Haas’ was told by a Russian athletic manager that it was poison, not a virus.

The International Tennis Federation has since looked into the debacle and has determined that there is no medical information or other evidence to support the allegations. The ITF said, “There will be no further comment on this subject.”

The tennis gods have spoken, and at least one of the scandals surrounding tennis has been publicly laid to rest.
