Jannik Sinner accepting an immediate three-month ban after reaching a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is not unique to the case of the men's world number one, WADA's chief counsel said.

A senior official from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) assured that Jannik Sinner's case is "a million miles away from doping." General Counsel Ross Wenzel spoke to BBC Sports about the three-month suspension accepted by World No.

Doping Agency on Monday offered an explanation for why top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner received a much shorter doping ban than the six-year suspension it handed to a Spanish figure skater in a similar doping case.

Jannik Sinner, the world’s No. 1 male tennis player, has accepted a three-month ban from the sport following an anti-doping rule violation. Australian Open champion Sinner, 23, received a sanction in August but was found by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to bear “no fault or negligence” after twice testing positive for clostebol — a banned anabolic steroid — at the Indian Wells Masters 1000 tournament in March.

Interviewed by 'RMC', French ace Lucas Pouille – who recently injured his Achilles tendon – expressed his sincere point of view on this story: "For weeks we have been told that Jannik would be suspended for one or two years and that the verdict would come after the American Masters 1000.

Former Wimbledon winner Marion Bartoli has expressed her annoyance at the fact that Jannik Sinner’s doping ban will not cause him to miss any Grand Slam tournaments. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced last week that Sinner had been suspended from tennis for three months for failing two doping tests in March 2024.
