The world number one tennis player faces his first career semi-final in New York, but off the court more news is expected
On the concrete of New York Jannik Sinnerthe current world number 1, faces the semi-final at the US Open for the first time in his career against the British Draper, but at the same time the time available expires Wada and Nado to appeal to the CAS in Lausanne against the acquittal of the South Tyrolean from doping charges is approaching and the champion’s head cannot be completely free from thoughts. Wada had communicated that it would carefully examine the case documentation.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has acquitted Sinner for lack of intent, victim of contamination with the prohibited substance that occurred during a message from physiotherapist Naldi in Indian Wells.
Wada and Swim they took their time to decide whether to appeal with two possible scenarios. If the anti-doping agencies, after consulting the documentation, decide to appeal Sinner’s acquittal, everything would be moved to court with the matter being closed much later in time. Without further communications, however, the doping case for Sinner would remain only a painful memory.
THE PRECEDENT OF MARCO BORTOLOTTI
Jannik Sinner’s case was not the only one in the world of Italian tennis linked to Clostebol. The Italian doubles player Marco Bortolotti he had been found positive last November and the case was resolved quickly. His version in fact, like that of Sinner, was considered credible by Itia. His version corresponded with the laboratory tests done. At the time Wada and Nado Italia did not appeal against the acquittal: “When the laboratory tests confirm the version offered, it rarely happens” commented Bortolotti.
