Former world number three, Grand Slam semi-finalist Nikolai Davydenko on he criticized the strict demands of anti-doping organizations.
In late November, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) reported that Iga Šwiatek had tested positive for the banned substance trimetazidine in August. As a result, it was decided that the athlete had no significant culpability or negligence, she was suspended for a month and she had already served most of her sentence. In August, the ITIA announced that Jannik Sinner had suffered two positive doping tests in March. He avoided disqualification because he proved that the banned substance, clostebol, entered his body by accident.
– What nonsense with doping. Again, they say something was bought, sponsors. Now, it’s a bit stupid to have bought a pill in a pharmacy, and it’s considered doping.
If you really look at it, 50 percent of medications don’t produce any athletic results. But they are pressing. You could say that this is a doping policy that I don’t understand,” Davydenko said on ’s “Gromko” show.
