Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek is facing a one-month suspension after testing positive for trimetazidine, a banned substance, following an out-of-competition drug test in August 2024.

Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek has accepted a one-month suspension after testing positive for trimetazidine, a banned substance. Swiatek, who tested positive during an out-of-competition drug test in August, explained that the result was unintentional and caused by contamination from a nonprescription medication, melatonin, which she was taking for jet lag and sleep issues.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) accepted Swiatek's explanation and determined her level of fault was at the lowest end of the range for no significant fault or negligence. Swiatek expressed the difficulty she faced in returning to training and the uncertainty around her career during this period. This case highlights the ongoing challenges in drug testing in professional tennis, with another recent high-profile case involving Jannik Sinner, who was cleared in August after failing two tests for a steroid in March
