Fissette on Swiatek: "I don't think she should have been suspended at all".

Wim Fissette, Iga Swiatek's coach since October 2024, spoke out on his player's doping affair: "I found out about it late. It was the last conversation before Iga hired me.

Then she said we had to talk about it. She told me everything, which I appreciated. It was a good start to our collaboration because we established a climate of trust.

Later, when she explained everything to me, I was sure the matter was clear. I don't think she should have been suspended at all.

Even if it did happen, the opportunity to work with someone like Iga was an obvious decision. I had no doubts. Anti-doping rules need to be changed.

Because there's a difference between taking a performance-enhancing drug and finding something very small in your blood.

Today's technology is simply very accurate. The situation Iga faced could have happened to anyone."
