Sinner Tests Positive for Doping, But Will Play the US Open Anyway. Here’s Why He Was “Pardoned”

Sinner Tests Positive for Doping, But He’s Innocent. World Number One Will Play US Open Anyway

Jannik Sinner tested positive for Clostebol after the tournament of Indian Wellsbut a careful investigation conducted by the International Tennis Integrity Agency has established that the Italian tennis player, currently number one in the world, has no “fault” or “negligence”.

The ITIA fully accepted the defense thesis presented by the team of Sinneraccording to which the contamination (detected in a very low concentration of the anabolic metabolite in the urine) was entirely accidental and caused by an over-the-counter spray available in Italy, used to treat a small wound. Sinner will regularly participate in the US Openbut, as required by the rules, the 400 points and prizes obtained in the American tournament were still deducted from him.
