Yes, it would be highly surprising if any tennis player was getting away with it.

They're tested when they win. They're tested randomly a certain number of times each year. And they test old samples for stuff that might have been hidden/masked.

why? there are track stars getting away with it and there's probably more money in tennis -- nm - zork Feb 4, 08:26 3
- Because the testing is so rigorous that it would show up. - Callisto Feb 4, 08:27 2
  - zork might be suggesting scientific workarounds to the testing. But even then, it might be considered too risky. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 08:30 1
    - Right, even with the workarounds, I've read that their ability to go back and test again makes this unlikely, too. -- nm - Callisto Feb 4, 08:33
