Jannik Sinner Faces Renewed Doping Scrutiny Amid China Open Success

WADA appeals for a ban despite ITIA clearing Sinner, dividing opinions in the tennis community.

Jannik Sinner continues to compete successfully, reaching the China Open semi-finals despite ongoing doping controversy.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for a potential two-year ban after Sinner tested positive for the steroid clostebol.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) previously cleared Sinner, attributing the positive test to accidental contamination by his physiotherapist.
The case has polarized the tennis community, with players like Nick Kyrgios criticizing the ITIA's decision and others like Tara Moore blaming ITIA's inconsistent protocols.
Sinner has expressed shock and disappointment at WADA's appeal, questioning the need for another review after being cleared by multiple judges.
