Jannik Sinner Accepts Three-Month Ban In Doping Case

Jannik Sinner of Italy reacts after winning a point against Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia in their third round match at the Wimbledon tennis championships in London, Friday, July 5, 2024.

Jannik Sinner has agreed to a three-month ban from tennis to resolve a doping case that has been ongoing for several months. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced on Saturday that the men's world No. 1 tested positive for the banned substance Clostebol twice in March 2024.

The ban will be in effect from February 9 to May 4, allowing Sinner to return to play in time for the French Open, the next grand slam event on the calendar. Earlier, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) had cleared Sinner of any wrongdoing related to the positive tests.
