Osaka calls 5am doping test in Paris a 'scary wakeup call'

Paris, May 24 (UNI) Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka has opened up about a “scary” early morning experience in Paris, where she was subjected to a surprise anti-doping test ahead of the French Open.
Addressing the media, the four-time Grand Slam champion recounted being woken up at 5am for the routine drug test, a process she described as physically uncomfortable and emotionally unsettling.
“I honestly don’t know the rules about talking about anti-doping. Am I allowed to say whatever I want?” Osaka asked reporters, before sharing her discomfort. “They’re kind of scary. For me, anti-doping is like— I don’t have a great relationship with them, just because they always come and take blood and urine... and my veins are notoriously hard to find.”
