Rafael Nadal wins defamation suit against France’s former health minister who accused him of doping on national TV
Although Nadal had been seeking €100,000 in damages, Bachelot has been ordered to pay €10,000 and a €500 fine.
Bachelot claimed on the French TV channel D8 that Nadal feigned an injury to avoid giving a drug test because it would have been positive.
Nadal has previously said he will donate the damages to an NGO or French charity.
