Yastremska provisionally suspended for doping
Print Edition
Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska has been provisionally suspended after the World Anti-Doping Agency found a banned substance in an out-of-competition urine sample, the International Tennis Federation said yesterday.
Yastremska, 20, provided the sample in November and a WADA lab in Montreal found the presence of mesterolone metabolite, an anabolic agent on its Prohibited List. “Yastremska was charged with an Anti-Doping Rule Violation under Article 2.1 of the Program (presence of a Prohibited Substance in a Player’s Sample) and was provisionally suspended with effect from January 7,” the ITF said. Yastremska, ranked 29 in the world, denied having used performance enhancing drugs and believes the positive test was the result of a “contamination event.” The ITF did not say when Yastremska’s hearing would take place, putting her participation in the February 8-21 Australian Open in Melbourne in doubt.
