A sample taken from Kim Kyu-Seung in November
2021 was found to contain a prohibited substance and Kim
"promptly admitted the charge," according to the ITF.
Kim initially accepted a voluntary provisional suspension
beginning on Nov. 4 but was found to have violated the terms of
that arrangement by training with his national team and
participating in a match the same month.
The Korea Tennis Association and the World Anti-Doping Agency
did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The ITF, which is responsible for the Tennis Anti-Doping
Programme, said Kim's suspension began on March 24.
