There is so much mess about the anti-doping system that even big guns such as Djokovic and Federer are openly criticizing (for different reasons) how things are conducted.
Djokovic is defending his dear friend Vicktor Troicki for his (now) 12 months ban and Federer says that he feels they are not controlled enough.
From the ITF: They are unfair
The ITF’s anti-doping manager Stuart Miller vented his opinion regarding the system to say “I think that tennis is doing a good job in the programmes it has and we’ve had two fairly high-profile cases recently with Marin Cilic and Viktor Troicki and let’s not forget both of those cases resulted in violations for the athletes concerned.
To me that shows that the programme is successful in catching the people it is supposed to be catching so I don’t think it’s necessarily fair criticism. Our programme includes in-competition and out-of-competition testing, with both urine and bloods samples taken and the recent introduction of the athlete’s biological passport, another too”.
