Suspended WTA professional Tara Moore of Great Britain filed a $20 million lawsuit in New York claiming her positive test for steroids in 2022 was because of contaminated local meat served during an event in Colombia.
Moore, 33, was given a four-year suspension after testing positive for two different steroids at the Colombia event. The lawsuit references 'concrete, actionable knowledge' the WTA has regarding meat at certain tournament locations that might contain banned substances.
The lawsuit comes as this week's ATP Mexican Open eliminated local meat at its player restaurant over contamination fears. Last week, the International Tennis Integrity Agency cleared three players who tested positive for the steroid boldenone during an event at Colombia in May.
The substances boldenone and nandrolone appeared in Moore's positive test in 2022.
Moore has ranked as high as No. 145 in singles and No. 77 in doubles.
