Compromise between Jannik Sinner , Wada (the World Anti-Doping Agency) to definitively close the case of involuntary doping that had involved the world number 1 tennis player. "This case had been hanging over me for almost a year now and was in danger of dragging on: this is why I accepted Wada's offer of a settlement" he commented. The champion from Alto Adige will be out from 9 February to 4 May and will therefore be able to participate in both the International Tennis Tournament of Rome that at the tournament Roland Garros of Paris but will miss the tournaments of Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Madrid.
Wada explained the agreement that definitively closes the Sinner case with an official statement saying that the athlete accepted it after having tested positive for clostebol, a prohibited substance, in March 2024. In truth, Wada specifies, Sinner did not take that substance but the rules say that an athlete is also responsible for the negligence of his entourage, as in this case where the substance was taken by a masseur. Wada will not cancel any of Sinner's sporting results, except those already provided for by the first instance court. In conclusion, the world tennis champion will be able to return to training officially from 13 April 2025 and Wada has therefore withdrawn its appeal to the CAS.
