ITF撤銷禁制令了，換言之Wickmayer從今天起可以正常參賽，之前與她同樣被罰的Malisse也一樣可以如常參加比賽。 ITF lifts bans, clears Wickmayer, Malisse LONDON (AP)—U.S. Open semifinalist Yanina Wickmayer earned a major off-court victory Wednesday when officials lifted her one-year ban for violating anti-doping rules. The 20-year-old Belgian was banned in November for breaking World Anti-Doping Agency regulations by failing to report her whereabouts for drug testing three times. Another Belgian, 2002 Wimbledon semifinalist Xavier Malisse, was banned at the same time and also had his suspension lifted Wednesday. “The ITF has removed both Mr. Malisse and Ms. Wickmayer from the list of suspended players, and both are eligible to participate with immediate effect, ” the International Tennis Federation said in a statement. Neither player failed a doping test, and Wickmayer claims she was not properly informed of the online reporting requirements for drug-testing that led to her ban. On Monday, the pair won an injunction in Belgium against the bans, which were imposed by a Belgian court on Nov. 5. Because the injunction suspended the decision of the Belgian national anti-doping agency, the ITF said it was forced to lift the ban. “As a signatory to the WADA Code, the ITF is required to give wider recognition to decisions within the authority of other signatories,” the ITF said. After Monday’s court ruling in Belgium, Wickmayer was offered a wildcard to play at the ASB Classic, a tournament in New Zealand that serves as a warmup for the Australian Open. She is also hoping to get another wildcard for the season’s first Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne. WADA’s “whereabouts” rule requires elite athletes to make themselves available for out-of-competition testing for one hour a day, 365 days a year. They must give three months’ notice of where they will be so they can be tested. Many athletes have spoken out against the system since it was imposed at the beginning of the year, saying it violates their right to privacy, and 65 athletes in Belgium started court proceedings against the whereabouts system, citing the European Convention on Human Rights. WADA director general David Howman has said the rule will be reviewed at the end of the year. ※ 引述《erickin (阿更)》之銘言： : 比利時禁藥法庭指Wickmayer在過去一年半內， : 在三次被要求藥檢情況下未有向有關官員報告她的行蹤， : 因此被禁賽一年。 : 不過Wickmayer已表明她一定會上訴，也說自己從沒缺席藥檢， : 每次結果也是陰性； : ITF和WTA暫時對此事件都沒有作出評論。 : BRUSSELS (AP)—U.S. Open semifinalist Yanina Wickmayer was suspended for one : year by a Belgian anti-doping tribunal Thursday, accused of failing to report : her whereabouts to drug-testing officials three times. : The Flemish regional tribunal called the punishment “reasonable.” Tribunal : spokesman Koen Uman said the suspension takes immediate effect, but Wickmayer : can appeal the decision. : The 18th-ranked Belgian has denied any wrongdoing and said on her Web site : she planned to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
