Former women’s world No. 1 Simona Halep has criticized the “big difference in treatment” she received from the International Tennis Integrity Agency compared to the body’s handling of Iga Świątek’s failed test. On Thursday, it was announced that Świątek had accepted a one-month suspension after testing positive for the banned substance trimetazidine. The ITIA said they found Świątek’s “level of fault was considered to be at the lowest end of the range for ‘No Significant Fault or Negligence.
“No two cases are the same, they often involve different circumstances, and direct comparisons are not always helpful. “There are some very important differences in these two cases. The product contaminated in Ms Swiatek’s case was a regulated medication, not a supplement. There was agreement among independent scientific experts surrounding the facts and the player admitted the Anti-Doping Rule Violation.
