LONDON -- After defeating Roger Federer for the second time in three days, you would think Novak Djokovic's post-match comments would be dominated by discussion of the intense three-set match. But on a day when the Court of Arbitration of Sport issued its ruling on his good friend Viktor Troicki's 18-month doping ban for skipping a blood test, Djokovic had some things to get off his chest.

The ruling, which came down Tuesday morning, reduced Troicki's ban from 18 months to 12 months commencing on July 15, 2013. The reduction clearly wasn't what Troicki or his supporters were expecting. Troicki, 27, said his career was effectively over.

"[T]his decision puts an end to my dreams of being a top player, of reaching the ATP finals and fighting against the best in the world," he said in a statement. "I worked my entire life for it, and it has been taken away from me in one afternoon by a doctor I didn’t know."

Asked for his thoughts on the decision, Djokovic came prepared with a written statement in his post-match interview. He proceeded to reel off an impassioned, 1,043-word monologue acknowledging Troicki's fault but blasting the ITF and WADA for their handling of the situation.

"I think it's just not bad news for him," Djokovic said. "It proves again that this system of WADA and anti‑doping agency does not work. Why am I saying that? Because, first of all, as a tennis pro, our job is to play tennis and respect all the rules and know all the rules of our sport. But when you are randomly selected to go and provide the test, blood test or urine test, the representatives of WADA, anti‑doping agency who are there in the tournament, are supposed to give you the clear indications and explain you the rules and regulations and what the severe consequences or penalties that you might undertake or you might have if you fail to provide the test. The representative, she didn't do that in his case."

Troicki claims he was ill on the day the blood test was requested during the Monte Carlo Masters in April and he asked the doping control officer if he could skip the test that day. He claims that the DCO told him he could be excused from the test. The DCO claimed she never gave him such assurances and the independent tribunal ruled in the ITF's favor. On appeal, CAS found Troicki committed an anti-doping violation but there was no significant fault and reduced his ban by six months. That wasn't enough according to Djokovic.

"[The DCO] did not clearly present him all the severe consequences that he will have if he avoids [the test]," he said. "She told him that he needs to write a report and that he will be just fine. And because of her negligence and because of her unprofessionalism, he is now off the tour for one year. And now it makes me nervous as a player to do any kind of test."

Djokovic said the whole incident, which he called a "total injustice," left him completely cynical about tennis' anti-doping system.

"I don't have trust in them anymore," he said. "I don't have trust in what's going on. I don't know if tomorrow the representative, the DCOs who are representatives of IDTM and WADA there at the tournaments, because of their unprofessionalism, because of their negligence, because of their inability to explain the rules in a proper way, I don't know if they're going to misplace the test that I have or anything worse than that. For me, the whole procedure of the court case is totally against the player and player's rights first of all."
