The International Tennis Federation announced Friday that Yanina Wickmayer has been found to have committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation.

The Vlaams Doping Tribunal (VDT) has ruled that Ms Wickmayer, a 20-year old tennis player from Belgium, has committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation under Article 2.4 of the 2009 WADA Code (violation of Athlete Availability for Out-of-Competition Testing). As a member of the Flanders (Belgium) Registered Testing Pool, Ms Wickmayer was required to provide whereabouts in accordance with the mandatory requirements of the 2009 WADA Code. The VDT determined that Ms Wickmayer failed to meet the whereabouts filing requirements on three occasions in 2009. The commission of three Whereabouts Failures in any 18-month period is an Anti-Doping Rule Violation under the 2009 WADA Code.

VDT confirmed the commission of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation and determined that Ms Wickmayer should be suspended for one year, commencing on 5 November 2009 and ending on 4 November 2010. National Anti-Doping Organisation Flanders, on whose behalf VDT heard the case, is a signatory to the WADA Code, and in accordance with Article Q.1 of the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme, the ITF (and, therefore, its member National Associations) recognises and respects the decision of VDT, and shall take all steps necessary to enforce and give effect to it.
