Australian Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt has said he will appeal his two-week ban for shoving a doping control official and criticised the process for a lack of facts.

Hewitt was charged in January for engaging in offensive conduct towards a doping control official after he pushed a 60-year-old volunteer anti-doping chaperone following Australias semi-final loss to Italy last November.

The former world number one, who was also fined A30 000 19 803 by the International Tennis Integrity Agency ITIA, told reporters on Thursday the matter was now with his lawyers.
