標題[情報] 比利時邀請賽禁藥事件
時間Sun Jan 16 22:11:38 2005
簡單的說就是比利時體育部長在星期六洩漏了去年12月底比利時女子邀請賽
其中參賽的3位選手,有一位被測出沒通過藥檢,
而這三位選手是Kuznetsova,Dementieva,Dechy.
Henin也有參賽,但目前證實她是清白的.
而這三位被牽扯進去的選手目前的回答都說沒有被告知消息,
ITF和WTA也是同樣回答說沒被告知.
目前的情況是還要等那位之前被測出的選手再進行一次藥檢,
才會公佈結果.
Women players deny knowledge of positive doping test

MELBOURNE, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Three players at the centre of doping allegations
in Belgium -- Russians Svetlana Kuznetsova and Elena Dementieva and Frenchwoma
n Nathalie Dechy -- on Sunday denied any knowledge of or involvement in the sca
ndal.
Belgian sports minister Claude Eerdekens inadvertently pointed the finger at th
e trio when he told Belgian news agency Belga on Saturday that a player had fai
led a doping test at an exhibition tournament in Charleroi last month.
Only four players took part in the event and Eerdekens said one of them, Belgia
n Justine Henin-Hardenne, had been cleared.
"Our policy is not to reveal the name of the athlete before the end of the comp
lete procedure, but I can say that Henin-Hardenne is not concerned at all in th
is," Eerdekens said.
He added that details of the positive test had been forwarded to the Internatio
nal Tennis Federation (ITF), the Belgian Tennis Federation and the player's nat
ional body.
He also said the player concerned had been notified but Kuznetsova, Dementieva
and Dechy, preparing for Monday's start in the Australian Open, all denied know
ledge on Sunday.
"I haven't heard anything. Nobody has contacted me," world number five Kuznetso
va told Reuters.
SIMILAR COMMENT
Sixth-ranked Dementieva, who was runner-up to Kuznetsova at last year's U.S. Op
en and also a finalist at the 2004 French Open, made a similar comment.
"I don't know anything about it," she said. "They didn't speak to me, so it was
n't me."
Dechy said: "We had an unexpected test (in Belgium). They told us that, if ther
e was a problem, they would contact us two or three weeks later.
"I haven't heard anything and nor have the French Federation. I think I am clea
n. I have no idea about the others."
Henin-Hardenne, who battled a mystery illness for most of last year, has pulled
out of her title defence at the Australian Open because of a knee injury.
However, her husband and manager Pierre-Yves told Belgian website Le Sport en L
igne he had heard about last month's doping test.
"It's a load of nonsense really," he was quoted as saying. "But I'd prefer not
to say anything more because it's a very delicate subject."
DOPING ALLEGATIONS
The ITF and the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) said they were unaware of the
doping allegations, as did the Russian and French tennis federations.
The Belgian tennis federation could not be reached for comment on Sunday.
"Nobody has informed the ITF so we cannot comment. If there was a positive, the
n we would expect the ITF would be informed," an ITF spokesperson told Reuters.
"It's not one of our cases and, even if it were, we would be bound by the WADA
(World Anti-Doping Agency) regulations."
The WTA's director of communications, Darrell Fry, said he doubted the claims.
"We're very surprised that there's even an allegation because our players are v
ery committed to having a clean sport," Fry said.
"We've not been notified by anyone... so we are presuming innocence.
"At the moment, we feel it's a Belgian government issue and hasn't got anything
to do with us because it wasn't carried out by our anti-doping testers."
