WTA: Errani threatens two-year ban on doping

Former French Open finalist Sara Errani is threatened with a ban for several years due to doping. The Italian Anti-Doping Public Prosecutor’s Office has demanded a two-year suspension for Errani in the court of the tennis world association ITF.

One on the 16th. The urine sample taken by 30-year-olds in February 2017 had found traces of letrozole, a hormonal and metabolic agent.

Errani had claimed that the drug had to be taken by her mother because she had been diagnosed with a tumour ten years ago. When preparing pasta for the family, the mother had accidentally contaminated the food with letrozole.

Errani had an appointment on 18. The Commission has been informed of the finding since 1 April, has granted the infringement and asked for a hearing to be held on 19 April. July took place. The ITF then had the former number five in the world for two months to 2. October closed. A verdict is expected before Christmas, the Corriere della Sera wrote on Friday.
