Jannik Sinner
Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner, currently ranked world number one by the ATP, has been acquitted of a case of violating anti-doping rules, Corriere della Sera reported, citing the secretariat of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has chosen not to appeal this decision.
On August 20, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) released a statement saying that Sinner had failed two anti-doping tests in March. However, he was not disqualified under the ITIA’s decision, after it was found that the samples were contaminated by a spray used by his physiotherapist to treat a cut on his finger.
Remember, Sinner won the 2024 US Open, defeating American player Taylor Fritz in the final decided in three sets, (6-3, 6-4, 7-5). This victory represents the second Grand Slam title for the Italian.
