Marketa Vondrousova has been handed a four-year suspension by an independent tribunal for refusing a doping test in December 2025. The tribunal, which released its report detailing the case, stated that Vondrousova provided no compelling justification for her refusal, which included safety concerns about a doping control officer's visit to her home. The report emphasized that her actions were impulsive and carried significant consequences.
