Andy Murray wants tennis to learn from the Lance Armstrong doping scandal and introduce tighter controls.

The British number one believes that prize funds should be reduced if it is the only way to fund more regular blood testing and protect the sport's image.

"It's down to our governing bodies and the ATP to invest some of our own money and make sure we get more testing done," he said.

"If it means taking some of the money out of the players' earnings then that's what we have to do."

Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes is currently on trial in Madrid after admitting providing athletes with banned substances in sport's latest drug inquiry.

Who is Dr Eufemiano Fuentes? In May 2006 Fuentes and four associates, including his sister, were arrested in a series of raids on offices, laboratories and flats in Madrid, Zaragoza and El Escorial.

Operation Puerto uncovered almost 200 bags of frozen blood, 40 bags of plasma and as well as steroids, growth hormone and masking agents.

The World Anti-Doping Agency was initially told that tennis players were amongst the sportspeople supplied by Fuentes when his operation was uncovered by Spanish police in 2006.

However Fuentes is only being tried over doping in one sport as cyclists were the only athletes that could be identified from the bags of blood seized.

"I think it's essential that the names and whoever was involved with it, it's essential for tennis that that comes out," said Murray.

"If one in 100 is doping then, in my eyes, that isn't a clean sport and we need to do everything we can to ensure we have everyone that's competing at the highest level and below is clean.

"I know what goes in my body and I know from my side that I'm clean, so that's all I can comment on."

Armstrong recently admitted cheating en route to winning all seven of his Tour de France titles, and US Open champion Murray believes that the damage done to cycling has focused minds across sport.

"I don't want that happening for my sport because it would be terrible," he said.

"Every single week right now there's something different and it's bad for sport."

Murray argues that more blood tests, combined with biological passports that monitor for the effects of doping, is the best tactic to ensure a clean sport and may not be as costly as first appears.

"The only way you can improve your testing procedures is by having more of them and you need money to do that - it's a cost thing," he added.

"But in the long term I think you save money because I think more people would come to watch sports, rather than reading all the time about these doping scandals."

The International Tennis Federation carried out a total of 131 blood tests in and out competition in 2011 - the most recent year for which figures are available - alongside 2,019 urine tests.
