LAUSANNE: Past French Open finalist Sara Errani’s doping suspension was increased Monday from two months to 10 months, a decision that left her “disgusted by this matter” and questioning if she will play again.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport announced its rulings on appeals by Errani and Italy’s national anti-doping agency, which asked for up to a two-year punishment.
The 31-year-old Italian tested positive for the banned substance letrozole in an out-of-competition drug test at her family home in February 2017. Errani was told about the result in April 2017 but continued to compete with the hope of winning on appeal.
