MELBOURNE: France’s Alize Cornet has been charged by the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP) after allegedly missing three out-of-competition drug tests, governing body the ITF said on Thursday. A statement from the TADP said the world number 42 had been charged on Jan. 11 before the start of the Australian Open, where she lost to Belgium’s Elise Mertens in the third round. It said Cornet had violated Article 2.4 which covers missed tests and a failure to provide whereabouts information. The French Tennis Federation (FFT) had said on Wednesday that Cornet was being investigated over a breach of the International Tennis Federation’s (ITF) anti-doping rules. The 28-year-old would be left out of France’s squad for the Fed Cup first-round tie versus Belgium next month, the FFT said.
