In 2000 Juan Ignacio Chela had tested positive for the doping agent methyltestosterone , which is why he was banned for three months in 2001 and downgraded in the world rankings. However, the then 21-year-old stated that he had taken the drug unknowingly.

On December 3, 2012, he announced the end of his career.

Chela will coach Diego Schwartzman in 2019 .
