Vondroušová receives four-year ban for refusing doping test
Czech tennis player Markéta Vondroušová was given a four-year suspension on Monday, June 22, 2026, for failing to provide a sample during last year's doping control. According to available information, the 26-year-old 2023 Wimbledon champion refused an unannounced out-of-competition test in December 2025. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The case concerns a control that took place late in the evening. Vondroušová reportedly did not let the doping control officer into her apartment and did not provide a sample. She explained the incident by citing an anxiety disorder, stress, and a feeling that she did not feel safe at home. The International Tennis Integrity Agency charged her over the refusal to test, and a four-year ban subsequently followed. irozhlas.cz ↗
The sanction matches the penalty that can also follow a positive doping finding. According to Czech media, this is the maximum possible punishment for such a rule violation. Under the current ruling, Vondroušová will therefore be unable to compete for four years. Der Standard ↗
The tennis player has the option to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Further developments will therefore depend on whether she takes up this option and whether the arbitration subsequently upholds, reduces, or overturns the ban. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
