Rune: "In 2024, before the Olympic Games, I passed around twenty doping tests
Questions about doping have been hotly debated in 2024, with scandals surrounding Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner, both of whom failed doping tests.
Holger Rune, taking part in the Ultimate Tennis Showdown in London from December 6 to 8, spoke to the media about his doping tests: "We've had a lot of doping tests this year.
In 2024, before the Olympics, I passed around 20 doping tests. It's a lot, but they do everything they can to keep the sport clean.
Personally, I'm always very careful about what I eat and drink.
If I leave a glass somewhere, I don't take it back. I have to protect myself as much as possible so that I can do what I love, which is to play tennis every day.
I do blood tests about once a year to see what my body needs most, but it's too personal to talk about.
It's about things like vitamin C, when you get sick you need more of it."
