A Paris judge authorized night-time doping tests for Tour de France leaders Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard, conducted by the ITA. The tests, which occurred before stage 15, drew criticism from riders for disrupting sleep, but were defended by anti-doping advocates as effective against micro-dosing.
Wrestler Vinesh Phogat has formally responded to the Wrestling Federation of India's notice. She asserts her eligibility to return to competitive wrestling from January 1, 2026. Phogat claims she has official confirmation from the International Testing Agency. She intends to compete in the ongoing Senior Open Ranking Tournament. Phogat denies anti-doping rule violations and allegations regarding selection trials.
Wrestler Vinesh Phogat received a formal warning from the International Testing Agency for a missed doping test in December 2025. This marks her first whereabouts failure within a year. Despite her explanation citing legislative duties and personal commitments, the ITA deemed it insufficient. The warning won't impact her upcoming Gonda tournament return.
