The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has announced the temporary suspension of 23-year-old Moroccan tennis player Imran Sibil. In March this year, he tested positive for cocaine and its metabolites during a tournament in Spain. The athlete did not appeal the ITIA's decision.

When the officers got closer, the suspect hit the other man, and one of the police officers used pepper spray during the arrest.
