The doping case involving world number one tennis player Jannik Sinner continues to unfold, as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) remains undecided on whether to appeal his acquittal. Sinner tested positive twice in March 2024 for clostebol, a prohibited anabolic steroid. However, an independent tribunal found no fault or negligence on Sinner’s part, ruling that the positive tests were the result of unintentional contamination through a spray used by his physiotherapist【7†source】【8†source】.
Although Sinner was cleared to continue playing, including at the US Open, where he reached the semifinals, WADA is still reviewing the tribunal’s decision.If WADA appeals, the case could be drawn out further, but if they decline, the matter would likely be considered resolved【9†source】.
For now, Sinner has expressed relief and a desire to move forward, though some in the tennis community remain concerned about the integrity of the ruling【8†source】.
