Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban in a settlement with WADA, concluding a doping case that had been under scrutiny for nearly a year. The ruling allows the world’s top-ranked player to compete in upcoming Grand Slam tournaments, including the French Open.
Jannik Sinner, the world’s top-ranked tennis player, has accepted a three-month ban in a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), bringing an end to a case that had been ongoing for nearly a year.
WADA had initially sought a suspension of at least one year after the Italian tested positive for a banned anabolic steroid on two occasions last March. However, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) had ruled the violation was the result of accidental contamination and opted not to impose a ban.
Sinner’s defence, which was accepted, stated that trace amounts of Clostebol in his system came from a massage given by a trainer who had used the substance after treating a finger injury.
The timing of the suspension ensures that the 23-year-old will not miss any Grand Slam events, with the French Open set to begin on 25 May.
