Players like Stan Wawrinka and Nick Kyrgios have spoken out against the three-month suspension announced for the Italian. We gather the most controversial statements.
New doping case in the world of tennis... and one that might stir controversy. The ITIA has provisionally suspended Brazilian Nicolás Zanellato, whose highest ranking is #458 in the world, after testing positive for boldenone, an anabolic steroid used to increase the muscle mass and weight of animals. However, the Brazilian was quick to speak out and explained why he found that substance in his body: his positive test occurred during a Challenger event in Colombia, a country with a long history of meat contamination with this substance. For the same reason, three other players (Robert Farah, Tara Moore, and Bárbara Gatica) were previously suspended (and later acquitted), but the independent tribunal did not accept Zanellato's version and evidence presented, while he maintains his innocence and argues the contamination case. Will his case be resolved soon?

The British player, who once reached number 183 in the world, has received a harsh and unexpected blow from the ITIA.
Tallon Griekspoor has been one of the most common victims of Jannik Sinner throughout this season. The Dutch player has succumbed to the Italian four times in 2024, the latest being in the Final of the 2024 Davis Cup. Apart from discussing the extraordinary level one must display to defeat the Italian, the Dutchman was asked again about the resolution in the doping case and subtly expressed his views: "For me, personally, Sinner is a wonderful guy and a great player, but in the end, you never know what happened", noted the Dutch player, who had already hinted at his doubts regarding the process on previous occasions.
