LONDON — A 20-year-old tennis player from Kazakhstan has been provisionally suspended for a doping violation. The International Tennis Integrity Agency says Arslanbek Aitkulov tested positive for prohibited substances while competing a tournament in Qatar in January. The agency says it sent Aitkulov a pre-charge notice of the violation on March 14. His provisional suspension was effective from Saturday. The ban prohibits Aitkulov from playing in, coaching at, or attending any tennis event authorized or sanctioned by any tennis authority. He reached a career-high world singles ranking of 1,250 in November.
