Iga Swiatek Reflects On Suspension: 'a Horror And Nightmare'
The International Tennis Integrity Agency: Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek described her recent doping suspension as a "horror and nightmare" while emphasizing her determination to prove her innocence. Swiatek, 23, tested positive for trace amounts of Trimetazidine (TMZ) in an out-of-competition sample taken on August 12.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced on November 28 that the violation was unintentional, attributing the positive test to contamination in a regulated melatonin product she used for jet lag and sleep issues. Swiatek accepted a one-month suspension, retroactively served, allowing her to compete again by December 4, reports Xinhua.
"My reaction was very intense—confusion, panic, a lot of crying," Swiatek told Polish media. "It felt like something terrible had happened to my health or career."
