What a drama: Ukrainian tennis player Dayana Jastremska made public details of her flight from her home country after Russia’s military attack. “After spending two nights in the underground car park, my parents made the decision to get me and my little sister out of Ukraine at any cost,” the 21-year-old from Odessa wrote on Instagram.
“Tired but my sister and I are safe”
The parents apparently stayed behind in Ukraine. “Mom, Dad, we love you very much, take care!!! I love my country! Ukrainians, take care!” Jastremska reported back on Saturday afternoon with a photo showing her with her sister. “Tired, but my sister and I are safe. We miss home, mom and dad.”
Jastremska had to endure a suspension of almost six months due to suspected doping last year, but has been eligible to play again since June 2021. The banned substance mesterolone was found in a doping sample from November 24, 2020.
Jastremska denied the use of performance-enhancing drugs and stated that the amount of the anabolic steroid found was extremely small. She could not explain how the positive sample came about. (tno/dpa)
