A pair of Belgian players — US Open semifinalist Yanina Wickmayer and former Wimbledon semifinalist Xavier Malisse — have been ordered to appear before Belgian's anti-doping commission for violating the commission's whereabouts policy, Belgian news agency Belga reports, in comments republished by Reuters.

The World Anti-Doping Agency's whereabouts rules state athletes much inform authorities of their whereabouts between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. each day for a three-month period.

Wickmayer violated that rule three times in the last 18 months and Malisse broke the rule twice and missed one doping test, according to the Belga report.

Malisse is scheduled to meet with the disciplinary commission on October 8th where he will have the opportunity to explain his absences. Wickmayer is scheduled for an October 22nd meeting with the commission. Both players face posssible suspension.
