World No.1-ranked Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal won a defamation case against former French health and sports minister Roselyne Bachelot, after she had accused him of doping, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency.
Bachelot, the ex-minister from 2007-2010, had alleged that Nadal had faked an injury in 2012, when he missed the final six months of the season due to knee problems, to hide a positive drug test.
Bachelot was handed a €500 fine by a court in Paris and ordered to pay €12,000 in damages and legal fees to the multiple grand slam winner over the allegation she had made in March 2016.
The holder of 16 grand slam titles, however, had sought €100,000 in damages.
