Former tennis star Yannick Noah, father of Bulls forward Joakim Noah, has made some comments that has the French Tennis Federation in an uproar.



ChicagoTribune.com stated that Noah accused Spanish athletes of widespread doping in his column for the Le Monde. Noah continued to say if everyone was allowed to use banned drugs then all could have equal opportunity in this competition.



The FFT retaliated by saying, "The French Tennis Federation wishes to express its disagreement with regards to the comments made by Yannick Noah. Faced with the scourge of doping, accusations without proof and provocative comments are inappropriate."

Noah suggested the French regime should change their strict drug policy thus making French athletes more competitive.

He continued to state that the only way Spain could dominate a sport continuously is by newly found training techniques and methods, that has never been heard.
