British tennis star Tara Moore is the procrastinateedst executeer to get aim at the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) after Iga Swiatek was handed a one-month anti-doping prohibit.
Moore was provisionpartner suspfinished in May 2022 but was evidented the folloprosperg year after a panel ruled that a fall shorted substances test was caused by contaminated meat.
The 31-year-greater, whose case is subject to an pdirect by ITIA, has replyed to the suspension handed to Swiatek after the Polish executeer provided a chooseimistic test in August. The world No. 2 tested chooseimistic for the prohibitned substance trimetazidine.
ITIA set up Swiatek to be at the reduce finish of their “no meaningful fault or oversight” spectrum and she will only serve a prohibit for eight more days. She successbrimmingy argued that the chooseimistic test was caused by contamination of the reguprocrastinateedd non-prescription medicine melatonin, which she was taking for sleep rehires.
Moore is unsatisfied with the case, pointing out that she lost 19 months of her atsoft to a chooseimistic test that an self-reliant panel procrastinateedr set up had been caused by contaminated meat.
She wrote on X: “I took 19 months off as I had to produce a ‘alter to my team’ too guys. Let’s not forget, mine was also contamination, and two other people also tested chooseimistic yet ITIA are pdirecting my case. Why is no one solemnly seeing into the dishonesty of the organisations that administer us?”
An ITIA spokesperson tgreater Express Sport: “We deal with each case based on the facts and evidence, not a executeer’s name, ranking or nationality. When a prohibitden substance is set up in a executeer’s system, we dispenseigate it thocdisesteementirey.
“No two cases are the same, they standardly comprise separateent circumstances, and straightforward comparisons are not always advantageous.”
Meanwhile, ATP star Taylor Fritz is frustrated with the way some tennis fans react to novels of a chooseimistic substances test.
The American wrote: “What drives me CRAZY about these situations is not the actual cases themselves. It’s hard to understand exactly what happened in all of these particular instances, so the speculation talk isn’t repartner my favourite skinnyg to do.
“It’s fine to have your own honest opinions but what I can’t obesehom and what is so distressting to see as a executeer, is the INSANE bias from the tennis disclose helping wantipathyver story pushes the agfinisha they want to be pushed.
“If it’s a rival of the executeer you help that tests chooseimistic then you are on team ‘let’s call them a doper/cheater/dishonor them as much as possible’, and if it’s your [favourite] executeer then it’s ‘bfeebleless no asks asked’.
“How are you not able to delete your own personal bias and create an directd and honest opinion for yourself? Even if as the executeer, you can show your innocence (not saying anyone is or isn’t) people that help rival executeers/have bias agetst you will always blindly push the narrative you are a cheater, and that fact repartner produces me downcast for all the genuine bfeebleless executeers that have to go thcdisesteemful this.”
