French Open champion Iga Swiatek escaped with a one-month suspension for a positive doping test after convincing the International Tennis Integrity Agency that it had not been intentional, the ITIA announced on Thursday.
Poland’s Swiatek tested positive for the prohibited substance trimetazidine (TMZ) in an out-of-competition sample in August 2024 but the ITIA accepted that the positive test was caused by contamination.
Swiatek is a 23-year-old from Poland who was ranked No. 1 most of the past two seasons but is now at No. 2. She won the French Open in June for her fifth major championship and took home a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics in early August.
