Originally Published by: The tennis world is up in arms after a new “creepy” shower rule was revealed in a bid to further help catch those using performance-enhancing drugs. The International Tennis Integrity Unit (ITIA) informed players of the new rule on Friday, which will see drug tests conducted immediately after matches. “The ITIA and ITF have been working tirelessly to ensure that post-match showers can constitute an allowable delay for doping controls, especially when the absence of a shower can have a detrimental effect on the health and wellbeing of a player,” the ITIA statement read.
