Jannik Sinner before doping process: What does that mean for his career?

Südtirol, Italien - A explosive turn in tennis comes up to Jannik Sinner! The 23-year-old Italian, currently at the head of the world rankings, will find out in mid-April whether he will be subsequently closed due to doping with the forbidden anabolic steroid closebol or whether he is acquitted from the allegations. The International Sports Court (CAS) has set the negotiation for April 16 and 17, and this is done behind closed doors, such as laola1.at reported. Sinner was tested positively in two tests in March, but so far he has not got a lock because he could not be proven to be a deliberate fault.

Sinner claims that the forbidden substance came into his body during a massage over the hands of his physiotherapist. This explanation has so far protected him from a punishment. But the world anti-doping agency (Wada) sees it differently and has appealed against the acquittal, calling for a lock of one to two years. The situation remains tense and could have far -reaching consequences for Sinner's career, the CAS should decide in favor of the WADA, such as tirol.at added.
