Djokovic Says Doping Case Will 'Follow' Sinner, Likens Stigma to His COVID Saga

Sinner's three-month sanction for accidental clostebol contamination remains in effect under procedures the ITIA says complied with the WADA code.

Overview

  • An excerpt from Piers Morgan Uncensored shows Novak Djokovic saying the clostebol case will trail Jannik Sinner like a cloud, with the full interview slated to air today.
  • Djokovic reprises earlier claims of inconsistent protocols, lengthy delays, limited transparency, and perceived favoritism in tennis anti-doping cases.
  • Reports state Sinner accepted a three-month suspension in a negotiated outcome that preserved his titles and prize money.
  • Coverage attributes the positive test to infinitesimal clostebol traces linked to a bare‑handed massage by former collaborator Giacomo Naldi who had used an ointment containing the steroid.
  • The International Tennis Integrity Agency maintains that all steps in Sinner’s case followed WADA rules, as debate over process and reputation continues.
