Jannik Sinner has accepted an immediate three-month ban from tennis after reaching a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) over his two positive drug tests last year.
The 23-year-old Italian won the Australian Open last month but will now be suspended from February 9 until May 4, meaning he will be able to feature at the French Open which starts on May 19.

Why such hate going to sinner. Spreading hates by this former tennis player. Sinner will be missing so many points which others might get points.. why such a hates
This is superficial reporting. Blah. Listen to Gill Gross if you love tennis.
Sinner guilty of a not committed crime!?
Shame on tenis word !!!
Forza jannik grande campione!!!! Pulitevi tutti La bocca prima di parlare dello sportivo piu forte del pianeta, cari invidiosi!!!! Forza jannik e basta ❤
Why did he settle
Yea he accepts but not fault😂😂😂😂. Hypocrisy
Djokovic would for one time becam Lifelong Tennis ban und 12 Monts in Prison.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No performance enhancing no ban……….
As simple as that
No threshold exceed no ban……….
As simple as that.
Just imagine if the same thing happened to Novak Djokovic. The biased Western media would crucify him. He would also receive a minimum two-year ban, and the same excuses Sinner uses would be dismissed as lies and fabrications by the same Western media.
Shame on the clowns here defending a drug cheat 💉 AUS open GS should be given to Zverev
What a joke
A Spanish figure skater was given a 6-year suspension for using the same cream and testing positive twice.
Tennis officially died for me today. there can be no deals. positive is positive 0.00% tolerance. Sorry to the Sinner fans but your champion will never be able to redeem his career with this deal.
Ein Jährchen Pause hätte Sinner und Swiatek gut getan, um mal zu überlegen, was für Geschichten Sie Uns auftischen 👍
Guys, just read the WADA sentence, it is easy, even a child can do it! Sinner was not doped, it was a stupid mistake from his staff. Shut up with this BS once and for all!
BOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!!!!!
J.s. @ every tourney.
Like ITIA, WADA recognises no intention, no knowledge and no advantage from Sinner's positive test, they recognise the explanation for the contamination, and WADA ASKED SINNER to accept a plea bargain. Sinner was already docked points & money PLUS having to skip several Masters 1000 (etc.) means losing out on millions of dollars, plus not being able to train properly until May. And all this for something ALL BODIES recognises isn't his doing. Remember WADA was seeking the application of 1-2 YEARS suspension. , which would've been NUTS.
WADA had a POLITICAL interest in prosecuting (to uphold the principle that ANY contamination is 'doping') & offered a plea because they risked TAS ruling against them which would further clobber their already crappy reputation.
Sinner faced an uncertain outcome over an uncertain period of time (TAS is a RE-TRIAL from scratch) with a potential career-destroying punishment for an ACCIDENT.
Henman like everyone else should keep quiet until they're read up on the issue. dammit.
So maybe they timed it so that he doesn't miss a grand slam to lighten the punishment, so what?!
what a JOKE, be real, he's cheating, PATHETIC!,
Why are people expressing themselves without having full knowladge on whats going on… its amazeballs 😅😂
They have to give the prize 🏆 to the player who was games with
Sinners Australian open win will always have an asterisk next to it now. Cheat.
GUCCI, La Roche-Posay, De Cecco pasta, Lavazza, Alfa Romeo, Parmigiano Reggiano, and NIKE, HEAD (of course) – hihihihih! And ATP Business boss is Italian and the big boss is Italian! What a shame!
Can you imagine the H2H on Sinner/Henman😂😂😂?
This is a total witch hunt
“Former British number one Tim Henman” who never won a grand slam and who is insanely jealous of the true champion known as Yannick Sinner😂
Hey Tim, what about Greg Rudeski that in 2004 was cleared after having found positive to Nandrolone by direct ingestion of pills at a level 100 times more that in the case of Sinner? At that time you did not state it was "too convenient" but: "I don't think he's the type of person who would take something because he's been around the game for such a long time." That reminds what Taylor Fritz said in a recent interview:
"If it's a rival of the player you support, you want them branded as a cheater. But if it's your favorite player, it's all about innocence without question."
Receiving 3 months ban without disrupting his grand slam routine, is not a big news
I don’t understand if you are caught doping and has won championships titles should the player give back those trophies.
A disgrace to sport he is. Another cheater
Fatevi una ragione, sinner a un anno che surclassa tutti di gran lunga ,e antidoping lo anno fatto sempre risultato pulito ,mangiate il fegato😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Sinner first stood by his team and after they defended him and he avoided a lengthy ban he sacked them all. So this is all very fishy. And if you're innocent why did he accept the deal? There were similar cases to his and Swiatek's and bans were considerably longer.
Criticize WADA all you want but please leave Sinner out of it. He has suffered enough.
The sentence was served and could have been much heavier, Sinner was right to accept… Ultimately, these are not many days of stoppage. February is a short month, it's just March and April. In May he is already on the track… WADA is a bandwagon that should be dismantled, they have too much power, it is clear that they have saved themselves once again from a worldwide media attack.
The WADA system is rotten and corrupt is evident…. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
La WADA e questi giornalisti corrotti andrebbero denunciati da un tribunale vero, non quello sportivo… è evidente che è una truffa. I colpevoli non vengono colpiti (fisioterapista- massaggiatore), ma lo sportivo rischia di finire la sua carriera…
LA VERGÜENZA DEL TENIS SE DOPA Y SE LLAMA SINNER !!!
😁🎾
Sinner is lucky to get a chance to take suspension right now so he can be back for Roland Garros. Suspension should include at least two Grande Slams
