One of the many things that could be learned from Maria Sharapova was the fact that the Russian was always on the offensive. Even when it came to presenting a positive doping result to the public. Dayana Yastremska was very careful in this regard, even if she contented herself with a statement on Twitter (Sharapova had held an impromptu press conference in a hotel in Los Angeles). But the reason is the same: Yastremska, who is in 29th position in the current WTA world rankings, was also discovered in a doping test on November 24, 2020. Yastremska was then temporarily suspended by the ITF.
You cannot explain how the prohibited substance got into your system, according to Dayana Yastremska. At the beginning of November at the WTA tournament in Linz, she was tested negative, after which she allowed herself to rest to prepare for the tennis year 2021. Incidentally, this preparation had already been subjected to a tough test a few days ago: The Ukrainian reported via Instagram that she had the corona virus.
