Italy’s tennis star Jannik Sinner has revealed that he is not a ‘comfortable’ position regarding the doping case. The 23-year-old is regarded as one of the best players currently playing in men’s tennis along with the likes of Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Sinner has been going through a tough time in the recent past. He tested positive for the banned substance clostebol on two occasions but narrowly managed to escape a ban. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), in a detailed statement, announced that they accepted the player’s counsel’s response where they claimed that the availability of the banned substance in the player’s sample was because of receiving cream from a member of the coaching staff.
On Saturday, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced that they have lodged an appeal against the verdict in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Their statement mentioned that the World Anti-Doping Agency wants a ‘one or two-year suspension’ for the reigning world number one player in men’s tennis.
“The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirms that on Thursday, 26 September, it lodged an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the case of Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner, who was found by an independent tribunal of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to bear no fault or negligence having twice tested positive for clostebol, a prohibited substance, in March 2024,” the statement said. “It is WADA’s view that the finding of “no fault or negligence” was not correct under the applicable rules. WADA is seeking a period of ineligibility of between one and two years.”
Sinner, who is currently in Shanghai to participate in the ATP 1000 event where he will play in the second round contest on Saturday, was recently quoted in a report where he admitted that he is not in a ‘comfortable’ position regarding the hearing. "It's not in a situation where I feel comfortable in it, that’s for sure because I thought it was over, so it’s not easy,” he said. “I have had three hearings, which went my way, which was good but now let’s see. But I am very confident that it comes out very positively.”
