Iga Świątek, Poland’s tennis star, is facing further scrutiny over a recent anti-doping investigation. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) initially found no deliberate violation of doping rules on her part, resulting in only a minor sanction. However, the matter is far from settled.
WADA’s Role in the Next Steps
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is now reviewing ITIA’s decision. If WADA deems the sanction insufficient, it has the authority to appeal the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne. This potential escalation has raised concerns over Świątek’s future in the sport, despite her continued insistence on her innocence.
