After doping scandal
Laureus Academy withdraws Sinner’s nomination!
Tennis ace Jannik Sinner has been removed from the list of nominees for the prestigious Laureus World Sports Awards!
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The Laureus Academy announced on Thursday that the Italian is not eligible due to his doping ban. The world number one had been banned for three months by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for doping.
Sinner had tested positive twice for the anabolic steroid Clostebol in March 2024. The 23-year-old had explained that the substance had entered his body via the hands of his physiotherapist during a massage.
"We ... are of the opinion - although we note the mitigating circumstances - that the three-month ban makes the nomination inadmissible," explained Laureus chairman Sean Fitzpatrick.
The awards will be presented in Madrid on April 21 and the nominees will be announced on March 3.
