Jannik Sinner accepts three-month ban from tennis after agreeing to settle doping case

ai generated text

Jannik Sinner, a professional tennis player, has been involved in a controversy surrounding a positive test for the banned substance Clostebol in March 2024. Initially, it was reported that Sinner had avoided suspension due to the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) not finding him at fault. However, in a subsequent announcement, it was revealed that Sinner had actually agreed to a three-month ban from tennis. Sinner admitted to "partial responsibility" for team mistakes, which led to the positive test.

  1. World Anti-Doping Agency
    1. However, under the Code and by virtue of CAS precedent, an athlete bears responsibility for the entourage's negligence. Based on the unique set of facts of this case, a three-month suspension is deemed to be an appropriate outcome.
    2. WADA accepts that Mr. Sinner did not intend to cheat, and that his exposure to clostebol did not provide any performance-enhancing benefit and took place without his knowledge as the result of negligence of members of his entourage.

    1. Guilty or not? Sad day for tennis. Fairness in tennis does not exist.

    1. I don't believe in a clean sport anymore.

    1. It is clear that Jannik had no intent, no knowledge, and gained no competitive advantage. Regrettably, errors made by members of his team led to this situation.

    1. This case had been hanging over me now for nearly a year and the process still had a long time to run with a decision maybe only at the end of the year.
    2. I have always accepted that I am responsible for my team and realise WADA's strict rules are an important protection for the sport I love. On that basis I have accepted WADA's offer to resolve these proceedings on the basis of a three-month sanction.
  6. International Tennis Integrity Agency
    1. The three-month outcome was only possible by agreement between WADA and the player.
    2. We were satisfied that the player had established the source of the prohibited substance and that the breach was unintentional. Today's outcome supports this finding.
