Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner is set to appear before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in April for the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) appeal seeking to impose a ban on him from the sport for at least one year. The closed-doors hearing is scheduled to take place on April 16-17 at CAS headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.
No specific timeline has been provided for a verdict, but a fast-track decision could be requested before the French Open commences on May 25. WADA is contesting a decision made last year by the International Tennis Integrity Agency, which opted not to suspend Sinner following what was deemed accidental contamination by a banned anabolic steroid in March.
