A low-ranked tennis player from Brazil has been cleared in a doping case by the International Tennis Integrity Agency after saying his positive drug test for an anabolic steroid was caused by eating contaminated meat in Colombia. The ITIA said Thursday that Nicolas Zanellato can return to competition after sitting out for six months while he was provisionally suspended.
