HATE accepted her explanation that the result was unintentional and was caused by contamination from a non-prescription drug, melatonin, which Swiatek was taking for jet lag and sleep problems.
HATE said it determined that his level of fault was “at the lowest end of the range without any significant fault or negligence.” It is the second recent high-profile doping case in tennis: the top-ranked man, Jannik Sinner, failed two tests for steroids in March and was sanctioned in August just before the start of the US Open, which he called the end of the season. Won to capture her second Grand Slam title.
