Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner has agreed to a three-month ban in a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) after two positive doping tests last year. WADA had initially sought a longer suspension, but Sinner's explanation citing accidental contamination was accepted, allowing him to continue competing without missing any major tournaments. The case's conclusion was essential for Sinner, who acknowledged responsibility for his team's actions and embraced WADA's regulations as critical for the sport's integrity.
WADA accepts the athlete's explanation for the cause of the violation as outlined in the first instance decision. Mr. Sinner did not intend to cheat.
This case had been hanging over me now for nearly a year and the process still had a long time to run with a decision maybe only at the end of the year.
