LONDON (AP) — Former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova was suspended for four years on Monday for refusing an anti-doping test — even though the Czech player cited “mental stress” and fear when the testing agent “rang my door late at night without properly identifying themselves.”
The International Tennis Integrity Agency made the announcement, saying that Vondrousova refused a test in December, and that the decision was reached by an independent tribunal.
Vondrousova, who won Wimbledon in 2023, reached a career-high ranking of No. 6 that year.
The 26-year-old Vondrousova detailed her reaction to the missed test in an Instagram post in April.
