Paszek cleared by Austrian anti-doping agency

The disciplinary committee of Austria's anti-doping agency has concluded that Tamira Paszek's treatment for a back injury was illegal, but that Paszek had no blame in the incident. The Austrian player received a homeopathic treatment which involved enriching and replacing her blood. The re-injection of blood is illegal, but Paszek said she did not know this at the time the procedure was performed.

Paszek was given a temporary ban, but an actual ban will not be imposed. She is not currently playing, however, because of her back problem.
