World No. 1 Jannik Sinner Suspended for Doping After Clostebol Positive Test

The Italian tennis star negotiated a three-month ban with WADA, sparking widespread debate over fairness in the sport.

Jannik Sinner, the world's top-ranked tennis player, tested positive for clostebol in March 2024 and has been suspended for three months following an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The suspension will keep Sinner out of key tournaments, including Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo, and Madrid, but he will return before the Rome Masters and Roland-Garros.
The Italian Tennis Federation defended Sinner, calling the situation an 'injustice' despite WADA's acknowledgment of his lack of intent to cheat.
Criticism from players like Nick Kyrgios and Stan Wawrinka highlights concerns about perceived double standards and the integrity of anti-doping enforcement.
Sinner will lose 2,100 ATP points during his suspension but is expected to retain his No. 1 ranking upon his return, given the significant points gap with his competitors.
