Tomljanovic accuses anti-doping chiefs of being out to get players after Vondrousova ban
Australian veteran says four-year ban is a ‘disgrace’
ITIA says strong testing means unpredictable timing
Ajla Tomljanovic has described the lengthy doping ban administered to Marketa Vondrousova, the 2023 Wimbledon singles champion, as a disgrace and has accused the tennis anti-doping authorities of being out to get players even when they have done nothing wrong.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency announced on Monday that Vondrousova had been handed a four‑year suspension by an independent tribunal after the Czech player had refused to provide a sample to a doping control officer at her home last December at around 8pm.
