Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek accepted a one-month ban after testing positive for banned substance trimetazidine, the ITIA announced. Swiatek had failed an out-of-competition drug test in August. She formally admitted the anti-doping rule violation on Wednesday. ITIA accepted her explanation that result was unintentional and was caused by contamination of non-prescription medication.
