Overview
- Speaking to Piers Morgan, Djokovic said Sinner’s case raised a lack of transparency, inconsistency and the convenience of a ban scheduled between Grand Slams.
- Djokovic stressed he does not think Sinner intentionally doped but noted anti-doping rules make athletes responsible for substances found in their bodies.
- Sinner twice tested positive for clostebol in March 2024; an ITIA tribunal found no fault in August 2024 before WADA appealed and later reached a settlement.
- WADA accepted Sinner’s explanation of accidental exposure via a then-physiotherapist and agreed a three‑month suspension served Feb 9–May 4, 2025, which did not cost him a Slam.
- ITIA and WADA have defended their processes, while Sinner has continued to win major titles since returning, keeping debate over the case in the spotlight.
