Everything seemed resolved, but nothing could be further from the truth. Jannik Sinner still cannot consider his doping positive case closed since the World Anti-Doping Agency has decided to appeal, disagreeing with the ITIA's view that relieved the Italian of any fault and negligence in his Clostebol positives.

The World Anti-Doping Agency rarely interferes in the decisions of entities like the ITIA, which handle doping cases in specific sports, in this case, tennis. While everything decided by the ITIA must go through the filter of the WADA, the supreme institution in the fight against doping in sports, it usually confirms the established sentence. However, in the case of JannikSinner, they have found sufficient evidence to not believe that the Italian should be absolved of all fault or negligence in his Clostebol positives.

- WADA believes Sinner cannot be exonerated from fault or negligence and requests a suspension of 1 to 2 years

What everyone thought was settled has now become a serious concern for Jannik Sinner, who is facing a trial at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It is this institution that must thoroughly reassess the case and determine who is right. The World Anti-Doping Agency requests a suspension period for the Italian ranging from 1 to 2 years, stirring up a tremendous controversy in the tennis world. It is unknown whether athletes involved in such situations have to stop playing temporarily or the timeframes for a resolution of the case.

Jannik Sinner is currently 1-3 down on court in Beijing.
