Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova’s X-rated text about “some c*** from doping” has been revealed after her four-year ban from tennis.
The Czech star, 27, was suspended last month for refusing a doping test in December 2025 and is currently unable to return to action until June 2030.
Now the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has divulged its findings from the case — which includes texts she sent to her boyfriend.
At 8pm on December 3, the doping control officer arrived at Vondrousova’s residence in Prague.
Five minutes later, the officer was refused entry by Vondrousova via her intercom — the tennis star insisting she needed to call her agent.
She then text her boyfriend, Andrew Paulson, on WhatsApp saying: “So like here is ringing some c**t from the doping.”
As this was unfolding, Vondrousova’s agent called the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) to, as they claim, check if testing was allowed to be conducted at that time.
The 60-minute timeslot had been allocated as 7am, however doping control officials are permitted to test outside of that period.
In the officer’s account of the story, a second intercom exchange took place five minutes later and Vondrousova again told her to leave.
A further five minutes later Vondrousova is said to have exited out of the front door to walk her dog, refusing the dope test again and signing a document stating she had opted not to conduct a sample.
Vondrousova, who says the officer did not present any identification, claims she felt “scared” and “unsafe” during the ordeal, and alleges her doorbell was rung “eight times, ten times, or even fifteen times”.
After the officer left, she sent a message to her agent saying “[s]he left,” and claimed “[t]his is completely f***ed up”.
In the hours after refusing the test, Vondrousova took a picture of the officer and said: “Every day we are required to be home for one specific hour for doping control. I respect that rule – every single day.
“Tonight, however, a tester arrived at 8.15pm and told me that my declared time doesn’t matter and that I must be tested right now. When I pointed out that it’s outside my testing window and a serious intrusion into my privacy, I was told: ‘This is the life of a professional athlete.’
“Is it normal for doping officers to sit in our living rooms at night waiting for us to pee? This is not about avoiding testing – it’s about respect. Respect for the rules that we follow, and for the personal life we’re entitled to after a long day of training and competition.
“Rules should apply to everyone. Even to those enforcing them.”
Vondrousova’s defence in the case pertained to the officer allegedly not following procedure, and failing to adequately identify herself.
The former World No. 6 also claims an “acute stress reaction” was at play during her decision-making process.
The tribunal said: “This is a very unfortunate manner in which the player made a decision in the heat of the moment to refuse doping control, in a state of stress and anxiety, with significant consequences.”
However, it was determined the tennis player had not provided enough evidence to justify why she refused the test, as the four-year ban was issued.
Vondrousova, who has not played a WTA match since January at the Adelaide Open, can still appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and insists she is a clean athlete.
She said “I have never doped. I have never had a positive test.
“Throughout my entire career, I have undergone countless anti-doping controls and have always stepped on to the court with a clear conscience. Just three days after the incident that ultimately changed my life, I was tested again.
“The result was negative. Just like every test before it.”
Vondrousova won her only Grand Slam title three years ago, beating Ons Jabeur in the Wimbledon final.
She also reached the 2019 French Open final, and has three WTA Tour titles.
