Cornet faces doping probe
Print Edition
Alize Cornet is under investigation by the International Tennis Federation after missing three out-of-competition doping tests in the past year.
The French Tennis Federation, in a statement late Wednesday night, said it was informed by the ITF on January 11 that an investigation was underway.
Cornet was subsequently dropped from the French Fed Cup team to play Belgium next month.
She was playing at the Australian Open when the French federation was notified. Cornet reached the third round in Australia, beating Chinese wildcard entry Wang Xinyu and No. 12-seeded Julia Goerges before losing to Elise Mertens.
Fed Cup captain Yannick Noah agreed to 鈥渓et Alize Cornet prepare her defense鈥 meaning that she is unavailable against Belgium.
Cornet has defended her no-shows in a post on social media. The 28-year-old Cornet says she missed three tests at home because of 鈥渧alid reasons which the ITF, for now, doesn鈥檛 want to hear鈥 and added that her case will be heard in March.
