Alize Cornet Cleared of Doping Charge

May 15, 2018 by Tennis Panorama News

(May 15, 2018) The International Tennis Federation announced that former No. 11 tennis player Alize Cornet has been cleared of a doping charge. The 28-year-old Frenchwoman was charged with a violation in January for missing three tests. The official press release is below:

PRESS RELEASE

15 May 2018

 

Decision in the case of Alize Cornet

 

A decision has been issued under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (the “Programme”) that a charge under Programme article 2.4 against Alize Cornet has been dismissed.

 

Ms. Cornet, a 28-year-old player from France, was charged on 11 January 2018 with having three ‘Missed Tests’ recorded against her within one 12-month period, i.e., three times in one 12-month period she failed to make herself available for testing at the time and location she declared for that purpose in her whereabouts filing.

 

An Independent Tribunal found, by a majority decision, that the Doping Control Officer (“DCO”) did not satisfy all of the requirements of Article I.4.3 of the International Standard for Testing and Investigations in relation to the third Missed Test. Specifically, the DCO did not do “what was reasonable in the circumstances (i.e. given the nature of the specified location) to try to locate the [player], short of giving [her] any advance notice of the test.” For that reason, the third Missed Test declared against Ms. Cornet no longer stands.

 

The decision determines that (1) the charge that Ms. Cornet has committed a violation of the Programme has been dismissed; and (2) there is no award as to costs. The full decision can be found here.
