		</div><p>Andy Murray showed no sympathy towards Dan Evans following his positive test for cocaine.</p>
<p>The British number three is serving a provisional suspension after failing a doping test at the Barcelona Open in April.</p>
<p>Evans looked devastated as he made the shock announcement at a hastily-arranged press conference last month and is now waiting to learn what sanction he will face.</p>
<p>It could be as long as four years if the offence is deemed performance-enhancing but is more likely to be in the region of two years.</p>
<p>What seems certain is that Evans, having finally established himself at the top level of the game, will now have to start again from the bottom.</p>
<p>Murray spoke to the 27-year-old, who has been a regular practice partner, after he had found out and on the eve of his public announcement.</p>
<p>The world number one has taken a consistently strong line on anti-doping and that clearly has not changed with the offender being a friend.</p>
<p>Murray said: <i>&#8220;It will be a difficult time for him. But he put himself in that position. The rules are very clear. He broke those rules, and deserves his suspension.</p>
<p>&#8220;However long that&#8217;s going to be, I don&#8217;t know. But it&#8217;s going to be a pretty long period, I&#8217;d imagine.</p>
<p>&#8220;In what was looking like it was going to be the best few years of his career, he got himself into a position to play in all the big events.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s going to have a few years away from the game now. You make your decisions. He&#8217;s obviously made a really, really bad one there.&#8221;</i></p>
