Russia\u2019s Daniil Medvedev has opened up about a tricky situation players had to deal with regarding dope tests. The 29-year-old suffered a shocking defeat in the first round of the French Open to Britain\u2019s Cameron Norrie in a five-set thriller with a score of 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 1-6, 7-5.<\/p>\n
Medvedev spoke to the media after the match, highlighting the difficulty players face regarding doping tests. The one-time Grand Slam winner stated that it is because of such issues that he ended up missing two drug tests in the past as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it depends, because you choose the time when they come,\u201d he said. \u201cThe rule is that if they decide to come, let\u2019s say here in the press room, they have the right to do it,\u201d Medvedev revealed. If they find you in the restaurant somewhere at 10:00 in the evening, this never happened to me, but they have the right to do the doping test if they know it\u2019s you. So it\u2019s tricky if you lie to them and tell them it\u2019s not you, maybe \u2014 but anyway, that\u2019s way too far of a discussion. This never happens. For me, it\u2019s the same. I usually like it\u2019s tough to know the timing in the evening, do you go dinner, not, so usually we put in the morning. I had two missed tests, because it\u2019s actually very tricky. People think, oh, how can he miss it? Well, try traveling 25 countries a year. Try not to forget one date that you\u2019re not in Monaco but in Paris already and change it. So, yeah, it\u2019s not easy, but it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
