French tennis player Richard Gasquet was suspended Monday pending a hearing into his positive test for cocaine, an offense which could lead to a two-year ban. The International Tennis Federation said an anti-doping tribunal would be assembled within 60 days to hear the case, which has already forced Gasquet out of the May 24-June 6 French Open. Gasquet says he is gathering evidence to prove his innocence, despite both his “A” and “B” samples coming back positive for cocaine. Traces of the drug were found in the 22-year-old Gasquet's urine sample at the Sony Ericsson Open, in Key Biscayne, Florida, in March. “He's suspended until the end of the hearing,” an ITF spokesman said.
