AP Photo YL106 LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) Belgian tennis players Yanina Wickmayer and Xavier Malisse have asked the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn their one-year bans for missing drug tests.

CAS says the players want to annul their suspensions for failing three times to announce their whereabouts for unannounced drug-testing.

CAS said Wednesday it will issue a ruling within four months.
