Top-ranked Jannik Sinner gets three-month ban in settlement of doping case
LONDON (AP) --- Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner has accepted a
three-month ban in a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency, the
organization said Saturday.
WADA had challenged a decision last year by the International Tennis Integrity
Agency not to suspend Sinner for what it judged was accidental contamination by
a banned anabolic steroid last March.
Sinner's explanation --- that trace amounts of Clostebol in his doping sample
was due to a massage from a trainer who used the substance after cutting his
own finger --- was accepted.
