Overview

• Jannik Sinner's three-month doping suspension, ending May 4, 2025, stemmed from accidental contamination involving his physiotherapist's use of a banned substance.
• Sinner, who remains the ATP World No. 1, has described the ban as 'unfair' but accepted it as the 'least worst option' to avoid a longer suspension.
• The suspension followed an appeal by WADA to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, overturning an earlier exoneration by the International Tennis Integrity Agency.
• Sinner plans to return to competition at the Rome Open on May 7, just days after his suspension ends, and less than three weeks before the French Open.
• The case has fueled ongoing debates about fairness in anti-doping enforcement, with players and organizations divided over the handling of Sinner's situation.
