Vice President of the Russian Tennis Federation Alexey Selivanenko briefly responded to the failed doping test of the world’s second racket, Polish tennis player Iga Szwiatek, without drawing any conclusions. His words guide the way vprognoze.ru.
“Each case is individual, so I cannot draw any conclusions without knowing the details,” Selivanenko said.
Trimetazidine was detected in the athlete’s blood. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) ruled that the appearance of a banned drug in a doping sample was due to contaminated melatonin, an over-the-counter drug not banned by the International Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
There was no “substantial fault or negligence” on the part of the player.
Schwiatek passed a positive doping test on August 12, 2024, exactly a month later the ITIA notified the tennis player of a violation of the rules. He received a one-month suspension and missed three tournaments in Seoul, Beijing and Wuhan. He also lost out on the prize money he won at the competition in Cincinnati. This was the tournament after he tested positive for a banned drug.
Trimetazidine was found in the doping test of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva, who was disqualified for four years due to a positive doping test.
Previously Tatyana Tarasova stated To the injustice in the Shventek case because of Valieva.
