Minar Tests Positive for Banned Substance

Ivo Minar (right) has tested positive for a banned substance, the AP reports.  The ITF is investigating the positive test. No word on what the banned substance is yet.  Whatever it is, it doesn't appear to be doing a good job at enhancing Minar's performance, as he has won just one of his last ten matches.

Minar, the current ATP #66 and Czech #3, had pulled out of the US Open only this weekend, citing injury.  The pull out just before a positive test is a clear echo of Richard Gasquet's positive test in Miami, as he also pulled out of an event near the time of a positive test.  It is not known yet when Minar tested positive.

Odds that he too tries to blame the positive test on swapped saliva at a nightclub?
