Expert on the Sinner case
“A three-month ban is a good middle ground”
It could have been more, but it could also have ended in an acquittal, which would not have been a good signal for the sport. Anti-doping expert David Müller and Austrian Tennis Federation Sports Director Jürgen Melzer can certainly live with the verdict in the Sinner case.
On Thursday, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced that it wanted to ban tennis star Jannik Sinner for at least a year. Just two days later, it was announced that the Italian had reached a settlement. He will be banned for around three months from February 9 to May 4. The 23-year-old thus admits his complicity in two positive doping tests in March 2024. The substance Clostebol had entered Sinner's body via massage after his physio Giacomo Naldi had treated a cut on his finger with a spray.
