WADA Appeals Ruling in Sinner Doping Case

World No. 1 tennis player Jannik Sinner is facing an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) after being cleared of wrongdoing by an independent tribunal regarding his positive tests for the steroid clostebol. WADA is seeking a one to two-year ban, arguing that the finding of 'no fault or negligence' was incorrect. Sinner maintains that the banned substance entered his system inadvertently through a spray used by his former physiotherapist. Despite the controversy, Sinner has continued to compete, recently winning the US Open. The case will now be taken up by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Sinner expressed his disappointment and surprise at WADA's appeal during the China Open.
