Part 3/4:

Following the ruling, Fantech was provisionally suspended from September 22 until October 4. This period results in the player missing three critical tournaments, which significantly impacts her ranking and opportunities within the sport. With the one-month suspension now active, Fantech effectively has only eight days remaining in her suspension after the provisional period.

Financial Implications

The financial repercussions of this incident are also notable. As a result of the suspension, Fantech has forfeited her prize money from the Cincinnati Open, the tournament that occurred directly after her positive test. This loss underscores the broader implications that doping violations can have not only on a player's career but also on their financial stability.
