One of those is British player Tara Moore, whose name was finally cleared after a 19-month battle in which a panel eventually ruled contaminated meat was the cause of her positive result.

Dual grand slam champion Simona Halep was provisionally suspended in October 2022 and later received a four-year ban, which was reduced to nine months last March after she appealed at the court of arbitration for sport.

Halep, who protested her innocence from the moment she tested positive to banned substance roxadustat, is among those frustrated at how quickly Swiatek’s case was resolved compared with her own.

Millman said: “It hasn’t been ideal, and I think what we’re crying out for is consistency.

“That’s probably where we’ve gone astray a little bit. I’ve made it quite clear, having had a personal relationship with Jannik, and reading the case; I actually believe well and truly [his story], 100 per cent. I’m adamant with that.

“The thing that I do probably have a bit more of a problem with, in general, is that I think the ATP, WTA and all the doping organisations should be streamlining that process a little bit more [for everyone].”

Millman said players had to be “meticulous” and check “absolutely everything” they put in their body, recalling how he was unable to use a nasal spray at one stage during his career because it contained a banned substance.

Bradtke echoed those sentiments, saying players must consider taking greater control of everything from how they treat their injuries to the supplements they take.

“It just goes to show that if you get a cut, you’ve got to look after it yourself,” she said.

“You’ve got to do your own drinks – no one else can do it. You’ve got to take ownership with what’s going into your body, and if you’re silly enough to get your trainers to do whatever, then you have to suffer the consequences. That’s how I see it.”
