Pennetta complains on twitter for early anti-doping tests

When we talk about anti-doping measures we always get on a tough ground. It is always about how often and how people should be tested, the timing and what we can do to prevent athletes from getting prohibited drugs.

1 factor is definitely very important: surprise surprise!

So athletes are not only tested during competitions, but also when they are resting or training. Of course… going early in the morning can also play an important role.

So sometimes tennis pros receive early visits and this is what has happened to Flavia Pennetta that was tested at 6am.  Apparently the world no.13 wasn’t as pleased to tweet (translated) “Today at 6.05 I had a great wake up! THANKS!!!” and she posted the Doping Control Form.

Well… that’s part of being a pro… isn’t it?

Let’s hope that Fabio has bought a nice croissant to make it up!
