Overview
- - The International Tennis Integrity Agency, which on Friday confirmed a charge for refusing a test, is investigating the December visit to Vondrousova’s Prague home.
- - Vondrousova says a doping officer arrived around 8:15 p.m., did not properly identify themselves, and sought entry, which she refused out of fear for her safety.
- - She says experts diagnosed an acute stress reaction and generalized anxiety disorder, and her lawyer argues the control “was not standard” and plans a procedural and medical defense with a decision sought by summer.
- - The alleged violation can bring up to a four-year ban if upheld, yet there is no automatic provisional suspension, so she remains eligible to play and is on the Madrid Open entry list.
- - Anti-doping authorities say out-of-competition tests can occur outside a player’s declared daily hour to keep checks unpredictable, a feature set by the Tennis Anti-Doping Protocol and the WADA Code.
