Austria's Tamira Paszek investigated for violating doping rules
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (CP) – 3 hours ago

VIENNA — Tamira Paszek of Austria is being investigated by national anti-doping authorities after a medical treatment for a back injury allegedly violated doping regulations.

During Paszek's treatment earlier this month, blood was taken for enrichment and later injected, which is not allowed under international anti-doping rules.

Paszek said she was not aware that the treatment was possibly illegal until a reporter told her after an interview. Paszek alerted the Austrian anti-doping agency NADA, which confirmed Thursday that it was investigating.

The 59th-ranked Paszek has struggled with back problems since last season. She has not played a match since retiring in the first round of Wimbledon.
