SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt has said he will appeal his two-week ban for shoving a doping control official and criticised the process for a "lack of facts".

Hewitt was charged in January for engaging in offensive conduct towards a doping control official after he pushed a 60-year-old volunteer anti-doping chaperone following Australia's semi-final loss to Italy last November.
