A top Italian tennis player caught in a drugs test has narrowly escaped a two-year ban, after claiming she had ingested the substance by accident when eating her mother's pasta dinner.
Sara Errani, once ranked No 5 in the world, tested positive for breast cancer drug letrozole during an out-of-competition test in February while staying with her parents in Bologna.
The 30-year-old claimed that her mother kept her breast cancer medication in the kitchen and that the drug must have somehow contaminated the tortellini,Daily Mail reports.
