LONDON \u2014 Croatian tennis player Jana Fett has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for \u201cthree prohibited substances,\u201d the International Tennis Integrity Agency said Friday.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old Fett, who is ranked No. 189 in the world, provided a testing sample while competing in the Billie Jean King Cup playoffs in Croatia in November.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlayers have the right to appeal the imposition of their provisional suspension before an independent tribunal chair. To date, Fett has not appealed,\u201d the ITIA said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Fett, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 97 in late October 2017, has not addressed the allegation on her social media channels.<\/p>\n
The ITIA said the banned substances were ostarine, which can stimulate muscle growth; LGD-4033, which increases lean muscle mass and has anabolic effects; and GW501516, also called GW1516, which was discontinued in 2007 after it was linked to the rapid development of cancer in trials on mice.<\/p>\n
A management agency that has represented Fett in the past did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LONDON \u2014 Croatian tennis player Jana Fett has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for \u201cthree prohibited substances,\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428455,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[45,49,48,82,593,3851],"class_list":{"0":"post-428454","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis","13":"tag-wires-bot"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428454\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
