and i think her ban may be longer. There will be some decisions made in this case later on i guess. It’s not finished

 

I don't think so. Sinner got away without extra punishment so Świątek probably will too. I mean even Polish experts on TV said trimetazydyne acts like a "new" meldonium in all honesty

WADA will not appeal here?

They filed an appeal in the Sinner case and then went to CAS as well. This is still ongoing while Sinner keeps playing (until the season ended anyway) and there is zero noise he might get a significant additional ban if any. So it's basically lawyers exchanging papers to make their money. I expect the same will happen with Świątek

What cheer?

 

anything but cheering

Sarcastically of course, cheering for the fact she basically received no punishment  

 

Tennis and football are jokes in terms of combatting doping.
