MADRID: Real Madrid has joined the defence of Rafael Nadal after doping accusations made by a former French minister. The Spanish soccer giant expressed its 'total support' for the 14-time Grand Slam winner in a statement Saturday which called the accusations by former French Minister for Health and Sport Roselyne Bachelot 'unjustifiable and intolerable.' Bachelot claimed on French television on Thursday that the Spaniard's seven-month injury hiatus in 2012 was 'probably due to a positive doping test.' Nadal is a prominent fan of Madrid and a 'member of honor' of the club. The Spanish Olympic Committee, national team manager Vicente del Bosque and Barcelona coach Luis Enrique have also supported Nadal, who denies any wrongdoing.
