Apparently she has actually served 3 weeks in season after being provisional suspended. It was why she missed the Korean Open, China Open and Wuhan Open before that provisional suspension was lifted. Having ultimately been given a month, she now just has to serve' the final week or so and will be eligible again on 4th December.

 Surely the month should have been in one hit and when she would have played ie miss the tour finals? Why would she be allowed to play that, suspension lifted for the big one, and then effectively re suspended tk serve her final week - you can do it rover Xmas if you like, Iga. Pathetic

I read it that the ITIA explanation is that she became eligible again after she appealed and so her provisional suspension was then stopped while her case was further considered. Then with the one month judgement this week, she had 3 weeks served and the remainder to serve out immediately ( effectively in the close season for her ). 

The month only came into force this week, initially it being an unspecified provisional suspension while they awaited a response.

Think this Iga story might run and run. Simons Halep has added her opinion. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/articles/cx2nx1eg70go

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Sounds like the Purcell one he hasnt actually failed a test. Sounds like a Nurse/doctor didnt listen to him when he asked for an IV drip to contain less than the allowable ML of vitamins. When he found out it didnt he then reported himself.

 Actually I think I mis-read Purcells comments. When he checked with the clinic he had been to he was then given his records which showed the IV drip that was used and shared this with the authorities so I think he might have failed a test.

Max Purcell on Instagram:

As announced by the ITIA today, I have voluntarily accepted a provisional suspension since I unknowingly received an IV infusion of vitamins above the allowable limit of 100 ml. Until last week when I received medical records from a clinic showing that the amount of an IV I had received was above 100 ml, I was fully convinced that I had done everything to ensure that I had followed the WADA regulations and methods. But the records show that the IV was over that 100ml limit, even though I told the medical clinic that I was a professional athlete and needed the IV to be below 100 ml. This news was devastating to me because I pride myself on being an athlete who always makes sure that everything is WADA safe. I volunteered this information to the ITIA and have been as transparent as possible in trying to put this whole situation behind me. I look forward to being back on the court soon.

 Now THAT is something you would be able to sue the clinic for

If they were told to keep it below 100 ml, and why, and they didn't, that is a very clear breach, and the damages are easily quantifiable
