Czech Tennis Star Vondroušová Banned Four Years for Test Refusal
2026-06-23
One of tennis's most recognizable champions is now facing the longest stretch of her career away from the court — not through injury or retirement, but through a doping-related suspension. Markéta Vondroušová, the Czech star who won Wimbledon and reached two Grand Slam finals, has been handed a four-year ban by the International Tennis Integrity Agency for refusing to submit to an anti-doping test last December. The suspension runs until June 21, 2030, by which point she will be 30 years old.
