Croatian star Marin Cilic is being investigated for failing a dope test. Malaysian Open organisers say he is however not banned by the ITF or ATP and can still play in Malaysia.

PETALING JAYA: Croatian tennis star Marin Cilic is set to make his debut in the Malaysian Open ATP 250 from Sept 21-29 at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil despite being investigated for failing a dope test.

The world No. 18, who lost to world No. 2 Andy Murray in the final of the Queen’s Club Championships in London in June, reportedly failed a drug test last month and subsequently pulled out from the ongoing Montreal Masters.
