The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said it agrees with the outcome of the Iga Szwiatek case..
Let us remind you that at the end of last year the Polish tennis player failed an anti-doping test. The banned trimetazidine was found in her sample..
Schwiatek filed an appeal with the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), claiming that the drug entered her body due to contamination of melatonin, which the athlete was taking due to sleep problems.
Based on the results of the investigation, ITIA accepted Iga's arguments. The parties agreed that the athlete will be suspended for one month and pay a fine of more than 150 thousand dollars.
On Monday, January 20, WADA issued a statement acknowledging the results of the ITIA investigation and agreeing with penalties regarding Iga Szwiatek.
Let us remind you that in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open Iga Swietek will play against the eighth racket of the world.
