After the doping incident of Jannik sinner ended in the world, he accepted the 3 -month ban. Sky Sports News’ Geraint Hughes answers the main questions in Saga.
How did Jannik Singer test it positively about the forbidden substances?
SINNER has been positive twice on the forbidden protein fairy tale steroid called Chlosteball, derived from testosterone in March 2024.
SINNER provided samples to the anti -doping controller according to the doping process throughout the professional sports. He did the first time in the tournament on March 10 at Indian Wells.
Eight days later, the test that was impossible to compete before the opening of the Miami also returned positive results. The tests of the two sinner were essentially less than 100 million grams of trace amount.
SINNER got information about positive test results and was temporarily suspended in tennis on April 4. He successfully appealed another short suspension that lasted between suspension and April 17 and 20. It is likely that contaminated products were involved.

Looking at the best moments of Jannik Singer in 2024, Italy’s finishing was ahead of the world rankings.
What is his explanation and why did you not spare the ban at first?
ITIA (International Tennis Integrity Agency) filed an incident at the Independent Court, which was heard in August 2024. ITIA handles anti -doping and corruption of tennis.
SINNER successfully insisted that two positive tests were the result of pollution. Italy and his legal team said his fitness trainer bought a counter spray that can be purchased without a prescription called Trofodermin, which is widely used in Italy. Trofodermin contains Clostebol.
Singer’s Physio Giacomo Naldi cut his fingers in early March 2024 and used a spray for several days to heal the wounds. He also met with SINNER and massaged him and wrapped Singer’s feet with a bandage. SINNER claimed that it was accidentally contaminated by Naldi, who had no gloves when working, and that the trainer had no idea that Trofodermin or Naldi used it while doing it.

Nick Kyrgios criticized the doping incidents related to Jannik Singer and Iga Swike, saying that it was ‘terribly’ and ‘treatment should be fair for everyone.’
At the independence hearing, three scientists said that the sinner’s explanation is plausible. ITIA accepted SINNER’s explanation that this was a method of returning two positive anti -doping tests with Clostebol Present. The Independent Court agreed.
Technically, SINNER has been found to have “defect or negligence” for failed tests. The discovery and ruling of the Independent Court and ITIA have avoided any mistake and banned doping.
So what’s going on?
In September 2024, WADA, a world anti -doping agency, complained.
Wada believed that the ruling was not accurate according to the rules. Originally, ITIA, which was originally investigated and passed by the Independent Court, recognized the right to appeal to the Wada Arbitration Court in accordance with the Wada Code, and WADA has the final right to appeal to all anti -doping decisions. .
The CAS was scheduled to hear the case by Wada vs Jannik Singer/ITF/ITIA on April 16 and 17. After the hearing, I personally heard about CAS’s decision.
The hearing will no longer happen due to the compromise agreement with the CAS.

Jannik Singer said he was surprised that he had previously appealed to Wada’s decision to clarify him.
Who wins this contract and wins?
WADA has not agreed to the ITIA ruling, and the agreement is amazing because SINNER publicly mentioned that the ban on defects and negligence was appropriate.
SINNER intentionally did not improve his performance using Chloste Ball, and many people said that traces of less than 100 million grams accepted by the panel of three independent scientists do not form cheating. there is.
But Wada’s appeals are based on the execution of what they see as a rules of all sportsmen, sportsmen, coaches and aides. Strict responsibility is ultimately a player who is in charge of entering the body or entering the body, and the material that is clearly emphasized as prohibited from the WADA ban means that the player should not use it.

Highlights of US Open Final between Jannik Singer and Taylor Fritz.
Wada and Global Sport seriously accepted the concept of “strict responsibility,” so in September, Wada pursued a ban for two years and settled for three months.
So who will be happier? Who claims to win? In fact, nobody, but perhaps sinners will be more relieved. He was forbidden and he stayed forever in his records, but the ban between the present and May does not significantly affect the Italian schedule this year or the attempt to win at the Grand Slam event. After maintaining the Australian Open Title in January, he can go back to action ahead of his next major (France Open) in May.
WADA agreed that the three -month ban on the three -month ban was appropriate, but it was the public position. Some of the doping community will not be satisfied with this compromise. Wada should be a global lead, a powerful agency, but critics will see this as a sign of weaknesses.
The effect has already been questioned by the US anti -doping agency (USADA) and the US government. WADA is the national government, and the United States is the biggest contribution. In 2025, the budget was only £ 50 million, but earlier this year, the US government paid £ 2.8 million to WADA for the decision of an agency. About 23 Chinese swimmers involved in many public doping scandals.
