VIENNA(AP) Austrian tennis player Tamira Paszek will not be banned because of a medical treatment she received for a back injury.

The disciplinary committee of Austria's anti-doping agency decided Thursday that the treatment was illegal, but that Paszek could not be blamed for it.

The 18-year-old Paszek received a homeopathic treatment in July. Blood was taken for enrichment and later re-injected in her lower back. Re-injecting one's own blood is banned under international anti-doping rules.

Paszek hasn't played since retiring in the first round at Wimbledon in June. She ended her season early because of the injury.
