Decision to clear Tara Moore of blame for positive doping test appealed by ITIA after 19 months in tennis doldrums

The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) have appealed against the decision that Tara Moore, a British doubles player was not to blame for a positive doping test after her 19 months of anguish away from the sport.
Moore who is now 31 was ranked as Britain's leading women's doubles player but saw her career come crashing down after being banned in May 2022 provisionally while always maintaining her innocence. She tested positive for substances nandrolone and boldenone while competing in Bogota in Colombia. Last month, her provisional suspension was immediately lifted.
An independent tribunal saw contaminated meat was the source of the substances detected and that the player 'bore no fault or negligence' bringing an end to her ordeal, or so she thought. The ITIA now though are appealing against the decision that she didn't ingest it knowingly. That appeal will take place at the Court of Arbitration for Sport at a later date.
Moore had said at the time using the word 19 months consistently that she had lost time and suffered 'emotional distress' through the ordeal, with her reputation severely damaged by the protracted case. "It's going to take more than 19 months to rebuild, repair and recuperate what we've been through," she wrote on X. "But we will come back stronger than ever."
