Five of the most high profile doping cases in tennis
3) Victor Troiki
The case of Victor Troiki was an interesting one to say the least. Troiki was asked to take a blood test just before the Monte Carlo masters in 2013, but he refused. He cited his phobia of needles as well as him feeling unwell that day as the reasons for not taking the blood test.
He was then banned for 18 months which was then reduced to 12 months on appeal. Troiki was shocked as he claimed that the officer in charge told him that he could take the test the following day.
Novak Djokovic came out in support of his friend and also said that he had lost faith in the system after this incident.
