While Australians are happy to comply with drug tests, team boss Kitty Chiller says early morning tests following late competitions are not ideal.

Frenchman Enzo Lefort was battling Germany's Peter Joppich in the men's individual foil at the Rio Olympics this week when, in one of the oddest moments of the Games, his smartphone fell out of his back pocket.

Joppich had lunged at the 24-year-old who jumped back, and cameras captured the moment the Frenchman's phone flew out.

The crowd at Carioca Arena 3 booed as Lefort bent down, picked up his phone and handed it to an official on the sideline.

We only wish his mum had called.

Joppich went on to win the match 15-13.
