Tennis world in turmoil
Sabalenka after doping cases: “You get scared”
The prominent doping cases in tennis involving the Italian Jannik Sinner and the Polish player Iga Swiatek, who tested positive for trimetazidine and was banned for just one month, have left Aryna Sabalenka deeply unsettled!

"Now I won't drink from the same glass!"
"Before, for example, I wouldn't have been careful about leaving my water glass and going to the toilet, for example in a restaurant. Now I won't drink from the same glass of water," explained 26-year-old Sabalenka.
You get the feeling that if someone uses a cream on you and you test positive, they will go after you.
Outrage among experts and ex-professionals
Sinner had two positive doping tests in March 2024. The South Tyrolean had stated that the banned substance Clostebol had entered his body via the hands of a coach during a massage.
The tennis agency responsible, the ITIA, decided not to ban him, but the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) took action. Sinner agreed with WADA to be banned for three months. Sinner's case became public in August, causing outrage among experts and ex-professionals.
