‘Not Being Able to Pee After a 3-Hour Match’- Swiss WTA Star Lashes Out at Anti-doping Authorities for Paying No Heed to Her Request After a Brutal Canadian Open Encounter

Fairness is what keeps the spirit of the game at a high. That is why, new rules and regulations have been put into action to maintain fairness in a game. Doping tests are also one of those ways which can help the authorities confirm if the player has used any external means to boost the performance of their body to gain an edge over the others. However, sometimes, these tests can also test the limits of a player. Belinda Bencic, the Swiss superstar, revealed a similar incident that happened to her recently.

Currently playing in the Canadian Open, the Olympic gold medalist revealed an incident that she did not expect after her win last night.

Belinda Bencic shares annoying post-match doping tests

The Swiss player has been in great form of late. She booked her place in the Round of 16 after a sensational win over Alycia Parks. A match that lasted for 3-sets promised all the drama and action in which Belinda came out victorious. However, it was after the match that things started to get a bit tense.

In the post-match conference, she was asked how she would be putting up her quick recovery sessions after an emphatic victory over her opponent. Answering this, she said that she had to go through the doping test after playing a 3 hours match: ““I just spent one and a half hours in anti-doping not being able to pee after a three-hour match, of course. So I don’t know what they expect, and I don’t know why I have anti-doping when I won. So I just did that. I didn’t even eat yet. I’m here now. I had a quick ice bath. I had to beg them to have an ice bath and to have a shower actually. So it’s new rules. So, yeah, that’s how I recover, I guess. Not ideal,” she added in the post-match conference.”

Bencic’s revelation sheds light on the things that she and other players have to go through on a regular basis. However, these things are meant to ensure the fairness of the game and the smooth processing of tournaments. Also, this is not the first time that a player has been tested for doping. Former world champion Serena Williams also had to go through multiple tests.

Serena Williams, one of the greatest players of the game, also had to go through multiple doping tests. Once, she revealed that the doping team came to her house. Upon finding out that Serena wasn’t home, they even waited patiently for her arrival.

Thus, these incidents shed light on the importance of fairness in the game and the stringent ethical standards that sports persons must uphold. If found guilty, players can face serious bans that can even see their careers come to a close. Do you believe that such strict regulations are necessary for the game’s integrity?
