"Following the Rio Olympics, the Committee of the French Tennis Federation met at length about the case of the players who violated the federation and damaged the image of tennis," the FFT said in a statement. The 27-year-old was kicked out of his country's Olympic team for spending too much time away from the athletes' village, local media reported. Mladenovic and Garcia were suspended for "strongly criticising" the FFT following a mix-up over their clothing. The pair won the French Open women's doubles title in June and are key players in the country's Fed Cup team which has reached this year's final against the Czech Republic in November. The three players, who the FFT said showed an "unacceptable attitude", will not be selected to represent their country pending a final decision on Sept. 24.
