Doping controversies cast shadow over Argentine successes

Sore leg

Puerta, banned for nine months after testing positive for clenbuterol in a 2003 tournament in Chile, is the current No 10.

He reached the final at Roland Garros in June after which he tested positive for a stimulant, the French daily L'Equipe reported last week.

The Argentine, whose physical trainer was former Olympic weightlifter Dario Lecman, denied knowingly taking a banned substance. He said he had taken anti-inflammatory tablets given to him by a doctor for a sore leg.

Dr Nestor Lentini, who is attached to the Argentine government's Sports Secretariat, was critical of Puerta, saying: "A sportsman has to know what he can and can't take.

"A final like Roland Garros is too important and a sportsman who gets to that stage needs to be well informed."

Other Argentines who have faced suspensions include world No 8 Guillermo Coria, who served a seven-month ban after testing positive for nandrolone in 2001. He was later absolved when he was found to have taken a contaminated supplement.

Juan Ignacio Chela was suspended for three months in 2001 for taking a steroid and doubles player Mariano Hood is awaiting judgement after testing positive at Roland Garros for a hair-loss substance banned since November 2004 as a masking agent.

The Argentine Tennis Association (AAT) has blamed a lack of funds for the failure to address the problem.

Former national technical director Fernando Segal said: "We didn't have the budget to look after these problems.

"Technically we are among the best countries in the world in producing players, but scientifically we're in the Third World."
