Russian tennis coach Viktor Yanchuk believes that the second racket in the world is Polish Igu Schwiatek must be closely monitored for any anti-doping rule violations.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) said on Thursday that Schwiatek tested positive for the banned substance trimetazidine in August. The Pole proved that the doping entered her body unintentionally, so the disqualification period was one month.
At the end of January, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. The suspension period is counted from December 25, 2021, from this date all its results are canceled. Trimetazidine was also found in the athlete’s sample.
“It appears that the one-month sentence imposed on Szwiatek constitutes a double standard. » You must know exactly the details of the accidental, intentional and serious nature of the incident. These details are of the utmost importance. But if you don’t take into account the details and go into detail, this is an unfortunate fact. After all, a banned drug was found in the best tennis player in the world, as well as inadequate punishment in relation to Valieva. Questions arise! But there is no answer to them.
Schwiatek must now be placed under strict, close and personal control and samples must be taken regularly in order to eliminate this possibility and compete on an equal footing with everyone. Because there must be purity in sport. If this happens again, then we have to fight to the fullest extent of the law,” Yanchuk said as quoted by “Championship”.
