June 22 (UPI) -- Marketa Vondrousova received a four-year ban for refusing to submit an anti-doping test, the International Tennis Integrity Agency announced Monday.
Vondrousova, the Wimbledon 2023 women's singles champion, denied doping and said she has "never had a positive test" Monday on Instagram. She was issued a formal notice of disciplinary charge Feb. 27.
The No. 122 player in the WTA singles rankings said in April that she had a doping control incident, citing physical and mental stress. She also said someone rang her door "late at night without properly identifying themselves or follow protocol."
ITIA officials said the Czech tennis star was notified about the test at her home about 8 p.m. Dec. 3.
