Maylin on the doping scandal: "The image is disastrous".
This year, doping control cases have shaken up tennis. First there was Jannik Sinner's positive test, which was cleared by the ITIA, before the World Anti-Doping Agency lodged an appeal.
Then, a few days ago, we learned that Iga Swiatek had tested positive for a banned substance and had been suspended for a month after demonstrating the involuntary nature of her intake.
Faced with this obvious vagueness, a number of reactions have followed this season, many of them questioning the impartiality of the competent institutions.
Benoit Maylin, tennis consultant on the TV show 'Sans filet', said: "How can you imagine that Swiatek is secretly suspended for three weeks, then allowed to play in the Masters before serving another week's suspension?
The whole thing lacks coherence and, above all, transparency, and gives the unpleasant impression that we're being taken for a ride, that things are being hidden from us. The image is disastrous.
