The 30-year-old provided a urine sample on February 16th and it was found to contain letrozole, concentration level 65 ng/mL, which WADA lists as a prohibited substance. As you can read in the “Decision in the case of Sara Errani”, at the time period in question, the 2012 French Open runner-up stayed at her parents’ place in Italy and on February 14th or 15th her mother Fulvia had dropped some pills for her breast cancer treatment on a kitchen worktop where tortellini and broth were later prepared, resulting in the food getting contaminated with letrozole.
Dirty kitchen worktop gives Sara Errani a doping ban!
