Innocent or guilty? Because in absolute terms according to the agreement reached, neither one nor the other. In conclusion, guilty but little. Little because both parties, the world anti -doping agency and Jannik Sinner, have skillfully maneuvered to reach a meeting point. Neither the agency turns a fat nor the tennis player leaves Rositas. But in the end there is a sense of sanction to the letter, of Cambalache tailored so as not to harm the season and the race of the number 1 of the world. If an entente does not mediate the Italian was exposed to a superior punishment by the Deporting Arbitration Court (TAS) and the player has not wanted to take those risks. After all, any Grand Slam tournament is not going to be lost, although Roland Garros will arrive short. ‘Pecatta Minuta’ to what could have been.
The Italian Jannik Sinner
The punishment has a clear aroma in custom suit for the Italian
He tested twice in March, met in August and was at first exonerated. From August 2024 to February 2025 Sinner has shown to have a great mental strength. He has played all this time with this matter flying over his head and being asked until satiety for it. From this point of view you have to take off your hat before your strength. But of course, while saying that he has been able to play in a precautionary way, his record has increased. In this half year it has been crowned in the United States Open, at the ATP Finals (the old Masters), in the Open of Australia and in the Davis Cup. There is nothing. None of these triumphs will be taken away because punishment is not retroactive.
On the other hand, only a handful of tournaments will be lost, including Paradoxically Indian Wells, but without being the most important competitions of the year. Have you received a favor of Sinner for being one of the most relevant athletes of the moment? There will be those who defend yes and whoever thinks no. The truth is that his case contrasts, for example, with that of the Spanish skater Laura Barquero. He has not competed since he tested positive for Beijing Winter Olympic Games on February 18, 2022 also by Clostebol, the same substance as in the matter of Sinner. The tas imposed a one year sanction. Punishment that was appealed by the world anti -doping agency, in search of a larger sanction and that forced her to depart from the competition since then. More speed has been with Sinner. There is no doubt about that.
