WADA have lifted all sanctions against Tunisia now that they have agreed that  “confirmation that the required government decree had entered into force”.

Unfortunately the Tunisian government very stupidly are still holding he director general of the national anti-doping agency and the president of the swimming federation in jail at the moment.

This obviously only happened because established normalized relationships with and called for to be kicked out of the Olympics

Her return into the national team will be awkward.

Because "oh my god, she had sex with her partner" or because for sure they won't believe that causing the positive test?

Laughable. Boyfriend and coach who was an elite fencer for many years (and certainly knows antidoping regulations) who, just after retiring, willingly purchased banned substance because why not, and then contaminated her through sex.

 

Surely to make it more believable Thibus at least will break up with him and sue him for putting her at risk and causing moral and financial damage. . Otherwise someone might think that she convinced him to take the blame.

I'm pretty sure they already knew about the first part !

But yeah, the trust between Thibus and the rest of the team is certainly broken because of this case. A shame because they were on the podium of the last two World Cups without Thibus, so they were even pretty good without her.

 

Well, we'll see !
