- Halep was given four-year ban in 2022, later reduced
- World No 2 Swiatek given one-month ban for violation
Simona Halep questioned the “big difference” in how doping cases are treated after the world No 2, Iga Swiatek, was handed a one-month drugs ban while the Romanian was out of action for more than 18 months following two separate anti-doping violations.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) said on Thursday that Swiatek had accepted a one-month suspension after testing positive for the banned substance trimetazidine (TMZ). The Pole, 23, tested positive in August but the ITIA, which runs tennis’s anti-doping programme, accepted that it was caused by contamination of her medication, melatonin.
