- Sinner tested positive for banned substance clostebol
- Tribunal ruled cream used on cut caused contamination
Jannik Sinner, the No 1 men’s tennis player, has been found to bear no fault or negligence for two failed anti-doping tests after twice testing positive for the banned substance clostebol in March. An independent tribunal last week determined that Sinner had been contaminated with the substance through his physiotherapist.
Neither of Sinner’s positive anti-doping tests had previously been published. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) organisation consulted with scientific experts and then took the case to an independent tribunal headed by Sports Resolutions.
