Jannik Sinner Calls Doping Suspension 'Unfair,' Plans May Return
World number one tennis player Jannik Sinner speaks out for the first time during his three-month suspension, maintaining his innocence and preparing for a comeback at the Rome Masters.
- Jannik Sinner, currently serving a three-month suspension for doping, described the punishment as 'a bit unfair' but acknowledged it could have been worse.
- The suspension stems from a positive test for clostebol in March 2024, which Sinner attributes to accidental contamination via a massage.
- Initially cleared by the ITIA, Sinner faced a WADA appeal that led to a negotiated three-month suspension instead of a potential two-year ban.
- Sinner, a three-time Grand Slam champion, expressed confidence in his innocence and is focused on resuming competition at the Rome Masters in May 2025.
- The case has drawn criticism from fellow players, including Nick Kyrgios, and raised broader concerns about fairness and consistency in anti-doping rulings.
