“The truth has come out, Jannik was not guilty or negligent, and I hope he can overcome this situation, play and improve, putting this unfortunate incident behind him”. These are the words that Darren Cahillcoach of Jannik Sinner with Simone Vagnozzi, delivered to Chris McKendry of ESPN on the story of the positive Clostebol found by Itia (International Tennis Integrity Agency) in the tests carried out in Indian Wells on 10 and 18 March and the relative exoneration, on 15 August, by the independent London tribunal Sport resolution of the world number one.

Cahill: “Unfortunate situation”
“Jannik would never do anything intentional. He found himself in an unfortunate situation and it wore him down physically and mentally, he had tonsillitis and missed the Olympics,” explained the Australian coach. “Jannik is the one who suffered the most, he is the one who had to go out on the pitch and play. I take my hat off to him because he also managed to get important results, but there were days when you could see that he was physically and emotionally tested on the pitch.”
Why Sinner was able to play
Cahill made it clear that the reason this was possible keep playing after the provisional suspension is that they were able to pinpoint exactly where the accident occurred and explain what happened with the spray, used by physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi to treat a wound and transmitted in infinitesimal quantities to Sinner during various massage sessions. The world number one’s team learned of the investigation after the Miami Masters 1000, won by the Italian.
