‘Not to free Sinner’: Wada appeals and wants a 1-2 year ban – Tennis – Ansa.it

And so the Clostebol relationship is not over yet, as the most optimistic people on websites and social media believed. While Jannik Sinner is on the field against Safiullin in Beijing, the news, announced by Wada, came that Wada itself, or the World Anti-Doping Agency, has appealed to the CAS -against the liberation of the number. 1 in the world, emphasizing that he does not believe that the “not guilty finding” is correct and wants a ban of one to two years for Jannik.

The drug case involving the South Tyrolean tennis player, who was cleared by Itia (International Tennis Integrity Organisation), began when it was announced, after the Paris Games, that Sinner had not participated due to tonsillitis , that Sinner himself had tested positive on March 10, during the Indian Wells tournament.

Traces of the metabolite clostebol, i.e. what remains after the banned substance has been metabolized in the body but not yet completely excreted, also appeared in a second study carried out outside the competition eight days later.

In both cases Sinner had successfully appealed against the temporary ban which is triggered in these circumstances and was therefore able to continue playing. The world number 1 had explained that he came into contact with clostebol due to pollution. The substance is actually Trofodermin, an over-the-counter drug in Italy that was used to treat a minor injury by his physiotherapist, Giacomo Naldi, who had performed massages and other treatments on Sinner in those days, who later shot him. the matter has come to light. Regarding number. 1 in the world, on several occasions, even after winning the US Open, showed his bitterness by revealing that the affair had affected him and that he had recovered “with the help of the those who have always been close to me”.
