Rafael Nadal defended by World Anti-Doping chief amid French Open injections backlash
Rafael Nadal has been defended by the World Anti Doping Agency after receiving backlash from a fellow athlete for his use of anaesthesia injections during the French Open. The world No 4 won a record-extending 14th title in Paris and 22nd overall Grand Slam on Sunday and admitted he was forced to numb the nerve in his foot to dull the pain of his chronic injury.
