Iga Swiatek, won’t be like Jannik Sinner: no Wada appeal

The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has announced that it will not appeal the case of Iga Swiatek, who was suspended for a month after testing positive for trimetazidine at a doping control. The decision of Wada, which instead will appeal regarding the acquittal of Jannik Sinner (the hearing is scheduled for mid-April), is causing discussion on social media.

“The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirms that, following a thorough review, it will not appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the case of Polish tennis player Iga Świątek, who tested positive for trimetazidine (TMZ) ), a banned substance, in August 2024. On Nov. 28, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), the independent body that provides anti-doping programs on behalf of the International Tennis Federation, announced that Ms. Świątek had agreed to a one-month disqualification period after the ITIA;ITIA had determined that the positive test for TMZ è was caused by a contaminated melatonin product, regulated as a drug in Poland and sourced from a reputable pharmacy in that country”.

“WADA conducted a comprehensive review of the file on the ITIA decision, received on November 29. WADA scientific experts confirmed that the specific scenario of contaminated melatonin, presented by the athlete and accepted by ITIA, è plausible and that there would be no scientific basis to challenge it at CAS”.

“In addition, WADA sought advice from outside legal counsel, who found that the explanation of the athlete’s contamination was well proven, that the ITIA decision was in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code, and that there was no reasonable basis to appeal to CAS”.

These are the words of Verona coach Paolo Zanetti to Sky Sport after the 1-0 defeat against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

“We took the goal on the’only mistake, the only blunder we made in a game, in my opinion, that was important, a game where we were in it against a high level Roma, but today we played a game with courage”.

“We really came here to really try also to play the game for a good part, we also lacked the important kick, normal that when you then leave space in the restart of such players, then afterwards all the quality comes out”.

“With the game we came many times to bring many men in Roma’s half of the field, in the area we made a lot of crosses, we often missed the last pass, we probably lacked a little bit’ of quality, with the understanding that we were also meeting a team that has players of the highest level”.

“So it wasn&#8220t easy, however, I can&#8217t say anything about the commitment and the desire to bring home points, then the details, as we know, make the difference in these matches””

concluded Zanetti.

These are the words of Roma coach Claudio Ranieri to the microphones of Sky Sport after the 1-0 victory against Verona.

“Champions League? It’s not easy, it’s one thing to say these guys are doing an extraordinary thing, it’s another to say we’re going to Champions.

“There is the dream, then there are the thoughts and then the’action. It is not a walk in the woods. We started the championship badly, but it has to finish possibly well”.

“There&#8217s a good group, that&#8217s why I don&#8217t stay. Then you have to give the new coach time to shape the team, with me it would be a lost year.

“We have a lot to do, right to step aside with a coach who knows what he wants”. On the possibility that Ancelotti might take his place, Ranieri says: “I don”t talk about the new coach anymore.

Here are the words of Ferrari’s team principal Frederic Vasseur and the two Maranello factory drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, who were fourth and seventh, respectively, at the end of qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at the Jeddah circuit.

“We are three tenths off pole position, it is true, but in the race we have a good pace. Since the beginning of the season we have always gone better in the race than in qualifying, so tomorrow anything is possible. It is true that we struggle a bit’ in Turn 1 but on the rest of the track we are on the times of the others.”

“Hamilton is almost nine tenths off pole and I think that because he still does not have total confidence in the car, he struggles a little bit’on this track so limited by the barriers– continued Vasseur -But in Bahrain Lewis made a good comeback and we think it can happen again tomorrow”.

“The disappointment is high, because it was a track on which we had higher hopes – added Leclerc -. Today is confirmation that we lack potential, although I am happy because I found the right direction in qualifying. It is difficult, but I extracted the maximum in my lap, risking going to the wall two or three times.”

“It was a tricky qualifying as always – says Hamilton -. This weekend I was nowhere to be found, I couldn’t even grow that much from session to session, however, I am grateful to have entered Q3, given the level. The last lap was not spectacular, but improvements we are making.”
