We review the most controversial and surprising aspects of the resolution in the Sinner case and how the competent authority managed it.
A tremendous dust-up has arisen in the tennis world concerning Jannik Sinner and his positive doping tests, especially due to the way it has been handled by the institutions. Several players have pointed out a double standard in processing the Italian's allegations to avoid a provisional suspension. Vasek Pospisil calls for clear and transparent procedures for everyone, Juan Pablo Paz believes that top players are allowed things that others are not, and Turkish player Cagla Buyukakcay, who was sanctioned for doping and was sidelined for months before proving her innocence, raised concerns about this differential treatment.
It’s even worse now that they are giving “Filing Failures” and going back months to see where you made errors in the details of your submissions. It’s happened to me already where I put the right address and time.. they never came to test me but later saw that my “in competition”… https://t.co/D2cbpfE7VQ

I am surprised but at the same time not so much, we already knew that this double standard existed and that top players are allowed certain things that the rest are not.

Now I do not even want to imagine all the players who were suspended for the same reasons, the frustration they must… https://t.co/aS50XuObvV
Losing your job, reputation, ranking, health due to anxiety&stress and overwhelming financial burden is the most gruelling process an athlete can endure. It’s incredibly unfair when some are treated differently under the same rules. https://t.co/F1oIV60dhr

After the ITIA confirmed her four-year doping sanction, the British tennis player has shared all the frustration she feels in a statement on social media.
Kamil Majchrzak was unable to compete for 12 months after testing positive in four anti-doping tests with minimal amounts of a banned substance. The Polish player immediately appealed, consistently arguing that it was due to contamination from consuming an isotonic drink that contained the substance without proper labeling. The ITIA eventually accepted his appeal and reduced his suspension from four years to 12 months. Witnessing the case of Jannik Sinner now, Majchrzak couldn't hide his disappointment.
"Just hours before my match, I received this tremendously shocking and painful news. I won't go into details for my mental health, but not being able to defend myself before a tribunal throughout my case, while others can play normally under the same circumstances I faced, brings me no peace. I am devastated and overwhelmed," expressed the Polish player, who was ranked 82nd in the world when he was sanctioned and lost all his points after a year of inactivity.

Jannik Sinner was notified of his two positive results in anti-doping tests for the first time a few days after winning the Miami championship, leading to a provisional suspension. He made allegations that were accepted, and the process was repeated a few days before the start of the Mutua Madrid Open 2024. The competition ban on him was lifted while the tournament was ongoing, just in time for him to participate. After withdrawing from the quarterfinals due to hip discomfort, he went 27 days without competing.
So Sinner was suspended a couple of days after winning Miami & at the start of the Madrid Masters 1000. Entered the draw and talked to the press pre-tournament while he was suspended and the ban was lifted with the tournament underway in time for him to play.
