The former US Open champion turned down treatment because she was worried about inadvertently ingesting a banned substance.
Fear of ingesting a contaminated substance led Britain’s Emma Raducanu to turn down treatment for an insect bite ahead of the Australian Open, which starts on Sunday.
“They flared up and swelled up really a lot. Someone was giving me this antiseptic spray, natural, to try to ease the bites. I didn’t want to take it. I didn’t want to spray it. “No parties requested a public hearing and it will be conducted behind closed doors,” CAS said in a statement about the two-day hearing.Women’s five-times grand slam champion Iga Swiatek also escaped a lengthy ban after a tribunal accepted that her failed doping test for banned substance trimetazidine had been the result of a contaminated batch of sleeping drug melatonin.“We’re all in the same boat. I think it’s just how we manage as best as we can the controllables,” she said.
