The world rankings-29. announced on January 7th that it had tested positive for an illicit substance in November 2020 and was provisionally suspended by the ITF.

All the more irritating now is a photo that appeared on social media on Thursday: Yastremska next to Svetlana Kuznetsova on the plane - to Melbourne.

As tennis journalist Tumaini Carayol reports, the ITF has not changed anything, Yastremska is still "temporarily suspended" with the possibility of taking action. A repeal could take place if "the athlete can show the committee that he has most likely ingested a contaminated product".

Yastremska had already hinted in this direction in her doping declaration.

How will Yastremska continue and whether she can compete in Australia? Will probably show up.
