"I didn't get the same treatment": Guillermo Coria says on Jannik Sinner case with regrets held 23 years on

Twenty-three years after a doping case in which he was proven innocent after initially being found guilty, Guillermo Coria has even hit out at the Jannik Sinner case and how in his view even back then compared to now it is double standards.
Coria spoke to Clay with the Argentine Davis Cup captain ironically facing Sinner's Italy in November. He was ranked World Number Three in his career but prior to that high, his world came crashing down. He tested positive for Nandrolone. It entered his system through a vitamin supplement that was contaminated. He sued the company and eventually settled out of court.
While the case resonates with Coria, it is for the wrong reasons as while Sinner has so far got away with something he did accidentally, the same cannot be said for Coria back then.

‘I feel I didn’t get the same treatment as him,’ Coria told Clay.
‘The positive doping killed me, I was in my prime, then I came back with hatred. I spent my savings to bring a team of psychologists from Spain to treat me and show my personality, I also hired a lie detector in the United States, I had a genetic study that showed through my hair what you consumed, I showed how the drug entered my body, through a vitamin complex, which was not to take advantage, but when I arrived at the trial in Miami, my mind was already made up,’ he added.
But he had a simple message in terms of the Sinner case about what he wants to happen. The Italian will have his appeal in the coming months by WADA heard at CAS with a potential one to two year ban incoming if overturned. "The only thing I ask is that the treatment be equal for everyone,’

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024
