Forensically, perhaps, though it is limited in fleshing out the entire truth. But on the basis of common sense and experience, not so much. If you lower your estrogen, which this medication does, then you increase the dominance of your testosterone which helps to build muscle. I just cant imagine a professional athlete negligently or inadvertently ingesting her mother's cancer medication. You? If you google the drug, you'll see that it's popular in bodybuilding circles.

But when you're an experienced, successful professional athlete subjected to drug testing at anytime anywhere in the world, you just don't make these mistakes. Plus, I seriously doubt her mom's cancer medication is strewn about the house. We're not talking about medication for upset stomach, we're talking about a serious illness that's often fatal.

If her mother has to take the pills daily, they likely will be in the kitchen area. And I presume that Errani is not cooking; it will be her mother... I totally can see a 60y old italian woman mess up dinner like that by spiking it accidently with a tablet &#128514;&#128514;.

It was either that, or Sara licking on a tablet (because mum said it tasted quite nicely). Hair sample proved that her intake over a whole year was not even close to a single tablet...

Unbelievable!!!

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.

1. I never realized that Errani and Vinci had completed the career slam. Lol
2. I definitely think Maria was made a scapegoat. She was WADA's big catch, so they could maintain face and send a message. I expect most sentences and backlash to be less severe than Maria's.

Maria secretly and knowingly took a performance enhancing drug, banned in the USA where she lives, for 10 years. Hardly a scapegoat. She got actually bc she deserved a lifetime ban. She just played the blonde damsel in distress to her advantage.
