After testing positive for clostebol in March, the current Australian Open and US Open winner won his eighth title of the year in Shanghai on Sunday.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) brought the case before an impartial tribunal, which agreed that 23-year-old Sinner had “no fault or negligence” involved.
It stated that the world number one could play on since he had given a “credible” reason.
However, the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has appealed to the Court, contesting the ruling that Sinner was not at fault.
The hearing has not been scheduled.
Novak Djokovic, a 24-time major champion, stated, “I just hope it’s resolved as soon as possible, whatever happens.”
Our sport is not at all benefiting from this case.
Sport examines the fundamental issues of a complicated topic.
Is it still possible to ban Sinner?
Indeed. Wada is requesting that Sinner be banned for a period of one to two years, starting from the date of the Cas verdict.
