She provided samples at the W50 event in Trnava, Slovakia (February 2024), and at the W75 event in Maribor, Slovenia, (March 2024). Samples contained trimetazidine and Bartůňková didn’t possess a valid TUE for the substance. The provisional suspension is effective from 16 April 2024.[6] Bartůňková stated that she is shocked, feel innocent and never knowingly consumed any banned substance.[7]
