Basel: Tennis player Richard Gasquet will go before the highest court in sports Tuesday for what he says was a cocaine-tainted kiss in a nightclub.

The World Anti-Doping Agency and International Tennis Federation have asked the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland to ban him for one to two years.

Ruling on Serena's US Open tirade expected soon

Gasquet failed a drug test after pulling out injured from a tournament in Florida in March and was suspended. The Frenchman says his positive test resulted from a kiss he gave a woman.

An independent tribunal called by the ITF ruled he was not to blame. He was cleared to play again after serving just 2Â½ months. A verdict by the top sports court is expected before the end of the year.
