This Saturday, September 28, Jannik Sinner learned some bad news. Thus, WADA, the world anti-doping agency, announced that it had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) the decision of the independent tribunal to exonerate Jannik Sinner, who tested positive twice in March in clostebol. WADA is asking for a suspension of one to two years and the Italian, world number 1 and recent winner of the US Open, could therefore be in great danger. But after his 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 success against Roman Safiullin in the round of 16 of the Beijing tournament this Saturday, Sinner spoke at a press conference and reacted to this heavy news.
Sinner speaks after AMA announcement
“I’m obviously very disappointed and also surprised by this appeal, to be honest, because we’ve had three hearings. The three hearings were very positive for me. You know, I didn’t expect it. I knew a few days ago that they were going to appeal, and that it was going to become official today, so… But yes, it’s a surprise, because we’re still talking about the same thing. Maybe they just want to make sure everything is in place. Yes, I’m just surprised they appealed“, declared the transalpine, who now hopes not to be heavily suspended. But the world number 1 knows that he risks very big.
