The World Anti-Doping Agency confirms the case is not related to intentional doping, allowing the tennis player to return to the court in time for Roland Garros

Let’s hope it’s finally the right time for the Sinner case to be closed, dismissed. The world’s No. 1 tennis player, had his disqualification reduced to three months because the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) confirmed that he tested positive for clostebol, found in March 2024, but that this positivity was caused by accidental contamination related to the use of a cream by his physiotherapist. Thus, this was not a case of intentional doping.

The International Tennis Integrity Agency had already decided not to suspend the Italian last year, but Wada had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Tas), asking for a harsher disqualification of one to two years. However, an agreement was reached last Saturday that provides for a reduced suspension of three months, from Feb. 9 to May 4, allowing Sinner to participate in Roland Garros.

Despite some criticism from players such as Novak Djokovic, Wada general counsel Ross Wenzel defended the decision, saying the penalty is proportionate. “This case has nothing to do with intentional doping,” he told BBC Sport. “We received mixed opinions, but it shows that the sanction, although not popular with everyone, was fair and based on accurate scientific assessments.”
