World-2 Iga accepted 1 month doping suspension: Was taking medicine for sleep problem; Won Grand Slam 5 times

Inga is the second number player in the women's tennis ranking.

Poland's five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek has accepted a one-month doping suspension after testing positive for the banned substance trimetazidine (TMZ). The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) gave this information on Thursday night. Inga is the second number player in the women's tennis ranking.

23-year-old Iga was tested positive for drugs during a tournament in August. ITIA had sought clarification from the Polish star. In such a situation, Swiatek admitted that this had happened unknowingly. Inga was taking this over-the-counter medicine 'melatonin' for jet lag and sleep problems. The ITIA said his level of fault was at the lowest end of the negligence spectrum.

Iga has won five Grand Slams in her career so far. This includes 4 French Open and US Open titles.

Janik Sinner also failed doping test This is the second recent doping case in tennis. Earlier, Janik Sinner, who was on top of the rankings, had failed the test for steroids in March. Iga, 23, tested positive for a trace amount of TMZ in an out-of-competition sample taken before the Cincinnati Open on August 12.
