No tennis players on doping list, says ITF

LONDON, July 5 (Xinhua) -- The International Tennis Federation (ITF) said on Wednesday it had been assured that no tennis players were part of a Spanish investigation into doping.

A report in a French newspaper earlier this week said leading tennis and soccer players were part of an investigation named Operation Puerto.

"Following reports in the media, the ITF was immediately in touch with the Spanish authorities to request information about allegations that tennis players are under investigation," ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti said in a statement.
