WADA Appeals Jannik Sinner's 'No Fault' Ruling, Seeks Up to 2-Year Ban
The World Anti-Doping Agency challenges the decision that cleared the top-ranked tennis player of wrongdoing after testing positive for a banned substance.
- Jannik Sinner tested positive for the banned steroid Clostebol twice in March 2024.
- An independent tribunal ruled in August that Sinner bore 'no fault or negligence' due to unintentional contamination from his physiotherapist.
- WADA has now appealed this ruling to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, seeking a suspension of one to two years.
- Sinner has expressed his disappointment and surprise at the appeal, maintaining his innocence.
- The appeal process is expected to take several months, potentially impacting Sinner's participation in future tournaments.
