Overview
- Vondrousova said she turned away a December doping tester at her Prague home after late‑night knocking by someone she did not know who, she says, failed to show proper identification.
- She wrote that months of injuries, pressure and sleep problems left her fearful, and she pointed to the 2016 knife attack on Petra Kvitova as shaping her caution with strangers.
- News reports say experts have diagnosed her with an anxiety disorder and an acute stress reaction linked to the incident.
- Her lawyer told AFP the attempted control did not follow standard procedures and argued that gave her a valid reason not to provide a sample.
- Under anti‑doping rules a refusal can be treated like a positive test, so she could face a ban of up to four years, though no disciplinary decision has been announced.
