Doping scandal around Jannik Sinner: Court decides in April!

The tennis superstar Jannik Sinner, the number one in the world, faces a dramatic turn in his career! On April 16 and 17, the Court of Sport (CAS) will decide against the explosive allegations of doping. The world looks forward to Lausanne, where the fate of the 23-year-old is at stake!

The excitement is great because the world-anti-doping agency (WADA) has appealed after the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) had acquitted Sinner from the allegations. The reason? Sinner is said to have been tested twice positively for the forbidden steroid closebol - and that in March of last year! A scandal that shakes the tennis world!

The background of the scandal

According to the ITIA, Sinner said that the steroid came into his body when his physiotherapist used a spray to treat a wound. But the Wada disagrees and demands a public hearing that will not take place. "None of the parties applied for a public hearing," said the CAS.

When asked when a judgment can be expected, Sinner admitted: "I know as much as you." This shows how uncertain the situation is for him. Despite the pressure, he remains focused on the upcoming Australian Open, where he wants to defend his title. "Of course you think about it," he confessed. "But I'm trying to prepare for the tournament."

The thoughts of the scandal load heavily on Sinner. "I would lie if I say I forget that," he confessed. He emphasizes that he always deals extremely carefully with medication and food. "When the bottle is open, I will throw it away and take a new one," he said.

The ATP has stood behind Sinner. Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi emphasized that the case "according to the regulations" was treated. "There was a lot of misinformation, which is unfortunate," he said. Tennis legend Novak Djokovic also commented and showed understanding for Sinner's situation, but criticized the lack of transparency in the process. "We were left in the dark for five months," complained Djokovic.

The tennis world keeps your breath - will Sinner be able to prove his innocence? April will be crucial and the eyes of the fans are directed towards the Court of Justice!
