Bjorn Borg: Tennis is one of the cleanest sports bigged

Despite these controversies, in a rare interview with CNN Open Court, Swedish tennis great Bjorn Borg said the game still shapes up to be 'one of the cleanest sports.'

'Sooner or later [this] would come up in tennis too,' the 11-time grand slam winner told CNN's Pat Cash on Tuesday. 'I think tennis has been very protected for many years.'

'Slowly it's been coming ... [there have been] illegal things in other sports. I'm not surprised that this happened in tennis,' he said.

One sport mired in doping allegations is athletics. Last week it emerged the FBI and federal prosecutors are investigating allegations of widespread doping by Russian athletes.

'When it comes up it's always a big question mark. But I think it's good; I know that they check the players regularly,' added Borg, referring to tennis' anti-doping program.

'All these question marks, they have to solve those, but I think tennis is one of the cleanest sports anyway.'

'It's good it came up'

Widely considered to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Borg said these issues offered the sport an opportunity to look at its regulatory policies.

'We want to protect our sport,' he said. 'We love our sport, so we want it to be clean. In one way it's good it came up so they can solve the problems [that] are in the sport right now.'
