Part 2/4:
Fantech's suspension stems from a positive test for a prohibited substance that emerged from an out-of-competition sample taken in August 2024. The ITIA's investigation revealed that the positive result was attributed to the contamination of a non-prescription medication, which was manufactured and sold in Poland. Fantech had reportedly used this medication to manage symptoms related to jet lag.
Unintentional Violation
Crucially, the ITIA concluded that the violation was not intentional. They assessed the player's level of fault to be at the lowest end of the scale, indicating no significant fault or negligence on her part. This assessment played a pivotal role in the determination of the suspension's duration.
