The Tennis star attacked Iga Świątek. Four words were enough for him

Let us recall that in September, the ITIA organization, the Polish extension of the International Tennis Integrity Agency, reported that a trace concentration of trimetazidine had been detected in a urine sample taken from Świątek on August 12. [TMZ]a substance prohibited by anti-doping regulations. It was 0.05 ng/ml. The Polish tennis player also learned from an e-mail that she was suspended until the matter was resolved.

Ultimately, the anti-doping authorities accepted the arguments proving the Raszyn competitor's innocence. She was sentenced to one month's suspension. It was accepted. Three weeks at the turn of September and October have already been counted towards it. 8 days left. They will accrue from the date of publication of the decision, i.e. on November 28. Swiatek will therefore be able to return to competition on December 7. After this, the matter will finally be concluded.

Wim Fissette was aware of Iga Świątek's problems

“It was the most difficult time in my career so far. Undeservedly, because I didn't do anything wrong. Nevertheless, I believe that an athlete can be recognized by his ability to get up from situations beyond his control, also off the court,” said our representative in an official, yet extremely emotional statement.

The new coach, Wim Fissette, was informed about the details before starting cooperation with the former WTA ranking leader. So he made the decision consciously. And although formally the case will be closed soon, there is no doubt that Iga Świątek will start the next season and first important tournaments with additional baggage. A crack has appeared in her crystal clear image, which many people who are not favorable to her will want to take advantage of it.

This is confirmed, among others, by Shapovalov's mentioned behavior. The Canadian on platform
