Jannik Sinner has been delivered immediately for three months of tennis.
The 23 -year -old, who won his victory in the Australian Open last month, will serve the comment from February 9 to May 4 after reaching a settlement with the Anti -Doping Agency (WADA) due to his positive tests for teaching last year.
WADA resumed a preliminary decision from the International Tennis Correction Agency (ITIA) that cleared the Italian of any violations after its positive testing on two occasions.
In a statement on Saturday, the agency said: “The World Anti -Doping Agency (WADA) confirms that it has concluded the status -solving agreement in the case of the Italian tennis player, where the player accepts a three -month period of a violation of the anti -doping base that led to a positive test for Clostebol , It is a banned substance, in March 2024.
In September, WADA submitted an appeal to the CAS Arbitration Court (CAS) in the case of Mr. Al -Matr, who was found by an independent court that does not carry any error or neglect.
Despite this appeal, the circumstances surrounding this specific situation mean that in order to ensure a fair and appropriate result, WADA has been prepared to enter into a settlement agreement, according to Article 10.8.2 of the Global Doping Act.
World 1 Jannik Sinner has been delivered immediately for three months of tennis.
The Italian star will be eligible to play at the next Grand Slam
“Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Sinner will present his eligibility period from February 9, 2025 to 11:59 pm on May 4, 2025 (including four -day credit by the athlete while assuming a temporary comment). According to the code 10.14.2, Mr. Sinner may return to the official training activity as of April 13, 2025.
World 1 will be eligible to play at the next Grand Slam event, The French Open, which starts on May 19. However, the next tournament in which he can play is the Italian open, which begins on May 7.
In a statement issued by his lawyers, Sinner said: ‘This case was suspended for a year and the process still has a long time to run for a decision, perhaps only at the end of the year.
I have always accepted that I am responsible for my team and realized that the strict WADA rules are important protection for the sport I love. On this basis, I accepted the WADA offer to solve these procedures on a three -month penalty.
The Anti -Settlement Agency, the Tennis Safety Agency, accepted the misinterpretation of the misfortune that the Clostebol material entered its system through a cream that was applied to a clip by Vizio.
They ruled that he did not carry “any mistake or neglect” and did not make any comment. He appealed to Wada, in an effort to embargo because they believed that the ruling should have been: “There is no mistake or great neglect.”
In August last year, the wrong He denied the allegations that he had received a special treatment – and insists that his conscience is clean – after he avoided the ban.
“Of course I was worried, because it was the first time for me, as you know, and I hope to be the last time I am in this situation.” “I think I am a fair player on and off the field … In my opinion, I know that I did not do anything wrong.”
It has appeared that he tested twice positive for the banned steroid clostebol banned last year
The sinner insisted that “he will always respect anti -doping rules” and denied that he was treated as a special case. Every player who is tested positively must pass the same process. There is no acronym, there is no different treatment.
I sometimes know that other players are frustrated. But perhaps because they were suspended that they did not know exactly where it came from, and also what the material is, but the main reason is where it comes from and how he entered its own system. “
The International Tennisage Agency announced that although the sinner has established 400 points of classification and $ 250,000, it was found that there is no “error or neglect.”
The 23 -year -old test is positive during the event in Indian Wales on March 10, then again after eight days.
The sinner was temporarily suspended, but in both cases he successfully resumed and allowed him to continue playing while the court evaluated the evidence. But after the prolonged investigation, behind the roles, the player’s reason was accepted for a very small amount of Clostebol in his system-less than a billion grams.
