WADA, world sport’s anti-doping body, will not appeal against the one-month doping sanction levied against tennis world No 2 Iga Swiatek. The Pole recorded a positive test for the banned substance trimetazidine (TMZ) in August.

Iga Swiatek’s one-month suspension for failing a drug test will not be appealed by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

World No. 2 and five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek opened up about her recent one-month doping ban for a positive drug test, describing it as the most challenging period of her tennis career. Speaking on the eve of the Australian Open, Swiatek shared that the ordeal was “pretty chaotic” and labeled it the “worst time” of her life.

Iga Swiatek says she can get "a closure" now that the WADA won't appeal the ITIA's ruling in her doping case but also underlines that she expected this outcome all along. While the world No. 2 was on the court playing against Eva Lys at the Australian Open, the WADA announced that they would not lodge an appeal and take her case to the CAS.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Monday it would not lodge an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the case of Iga Swiatek after the former world number one tested positive for prohibited substance trimetazidine (TMZ).

Iga Swiatek is free to focus on her Australian Open campaign after the World Anti-Doping Agency decided against lodging an appeal in her doping case.
