Andy Murray was forced to begin his weekend with a surprise 6 a.m. drug test before flying out of frigid Britain and into the December heat of the Bahamas.
The Scot is due to play in a charity exhibition organised by fellow ATP pro Mark Knowles, a native of the island.
But Murray was hardly pleased by his rude awakening, Tweeting: "Off to Bahamas today! Nice little 6am drug test to start the day off, must be a weird job being a drug tester waking random people up staring at their privates and then leaving! Surely there is a law against that."
The world No. 4 will not have to worry about the cold for another two months as he goes onto December training at his base in hot-house Miami followed by a late December flight to Australia and a second appearance at the Hopman Cup teams event in Perth.
Murray is hoping to inject some consistency in to his 2011 season after losing the final of the Australian Open to Roger Federer, and going out in the first week of the US Open. On the plus side, he won two Masters 1000 titles and reached the semis of the year-end final in London.
"I go to Miami every year at this time and I plan to work harder than ever. That might involve longer sessions, more hours, and just making sure everything is even more professional," Murray said. "I'll be in Florida for Christmas.
"I've got friends out there but I'm not sure yet whether I'll see my family - it's a sacrifice you have to make."

Because Fed and Nadal do not feel the need to tattle tale. Not that it's unbecoming of Murray. In fact it's a good little news re: what the ATP does.
Bottom line, I guess Fed and Rafa can not be bothered to tell the whole world about
some little things that's going on with their lives.

lightforce: Andy gave this info on his twitter, which is strictly for nutty fans like me. If u could be bothered to read it, you will see it's mostly light hearted and jokey. BTW his dog, Maggie May, also has a twitter....:)

I support random drug testing, but I have to agree with Murray here. Waking him up at 6am is unreasonable. Are athletes in other sports subject to this sort of times too? How come we don't hear from Fed or Nadal about this issue?
