We analyze the possible scenarios that the Sinner doping case may lead to after the appeal by the WADA.
positivo doping
We are just a few weeks away from the end of 2024, and many players are still speaking out about the two cases of doping that rocked the tennis world this season. This time, it was Adrian Mannarino who appeared on RMC and shared his opinion on what happened with Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek, making his stance clear and showing some skepticism.
"I stopped believing in Santa Claus a while ago. If some want to believe them, let them. It's not for me. I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but everything is still very surprising. We've had two positives in the top 300, and both come from the number ones. Of course, you can accidentally take a bad pill, but it’s surprising. I see myself, at 36, limping every time I get out of bed: if I compete against 20 to 25-year-old players who are not even clean, everything becomes much more difficult."

Indignant and outspoken. That's how Nick Kyrgios showed himself after learning about Iga Swiatek's positive doping test, going as far as to say that tennis was rotten and that the ITIA was responsible for it. The Australian finds Swiatek's arguments to be excuses and believes that a professional cannot always hide behind not knowing what they were taking. His words have been widely praised on social media.
The excuse that we can all use is that we didn’t know. Simply didn’t know. Professionals at the highest level of sport can now just say “we didn’t know” 👏

Olivier Niggli, the head of the anti-doping agency, detailed the reasons for his appeal against the ruling on Jannik Sinner. What will his argument be based on?
New information about the doping case involving Iga Swiatek is coming to light as the details of the resolution by the ITIA regarding her positive tests are revealed. Perhaps the most striking aspect is that the Polish player provides a list of 14 medications and/or supplements to the authorities after testing positive, as requested.
However, the substance that caused her positive result is not among them. Iga explains that she was tired, had only slept a few hours, and forgot to include the medication due to this fatigue and because it was not on the list from which she copied the information to send to the relevant authority. The ITIA finds it unusual, but after two interviews with the player, accepts her explanations.
At this point in the resolution of the Swiatek case, it is detailed that the Polish athlete stated having taken a total of 14 medications/supplements, except for melatonin, which later caused her positive test, making it a total of 15!!

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.

Giacomo Naldi, former physio of Sinner: "It wasn't just my fault, I wish I could tell what happened"
Giacomo Naldi, formerly the physiotherapist of Jannik Sinner and main person responsible for the two doping positives of the Italian player, has broken his silence after being dismissed by the world number 1 with statements to the Italian media Leggo that have caused uproar. "I am very sorry, I wish I could tell everything that happened, but I can't speak because the case is not over, unfortunately. I hope that, sooner or later, I can tell what happened to shed some light because the current interpretations make me look like the only culprit, but that's not the case," he declared before stating that he maintains a cordial relationship with Sinner and the whole team.
