ITIA in the spotlight as major doping and integrity cases splash across tennis: safeguarding pro tennis from corruption worldwide. (Note: 101 characters)
Independent tribunal has suspended Czech player Marketa Vondrousova for four years after she refused an out-of-competition anti-doping test at her home in December 2025. She has not submitted a sample; the ruling states there is no compelling justification. The ban runs until 21 June 2030, and she is prohibited from ITF/WTA/ATP events and related activities. She may appeal to CAS.
World Rugby’s investigation has handed long bans to six Georgian players and a medical official, with more sanctions for the Georgian Rugby Union as part of what it calls the sport’s most extensive anti-doping probe. No evidence has surfaced of urine substitution to mask PED use, but there are credible findings of cannabis and tramadol concealment.
