AMA and Jannik Sinner to meet in April

Tennis

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) does not want to give anyone a free pass. Doubt has recently crept into the upper echelons of international tennis with the positive tests of Iga Swiatek, suspended for a month, and Jannik Sinner, who pleaded contamination and escaped a suspension. For now anyway. WADA has made appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (BAG) in September. This file will evolve in the spring since The CAS has just set the date of the hearing from the arbitration procedure to April 16 and 17, 2025, in Lausanne. "Since no party requested a public hearing, this will take place behind closed doors », the court said in its press release. While the independent tribunal of the International Tennis Integrity Agency concluded that absence of fault or negligence, the AMA considers that this conclusion "is not correct under the applicable rules"She is asking for a one to two year suspension for the world number 1, who had tested positive twice for clostebol. “In my mind, I know exactly what happened. I didn’t do anything wrong. That’s why I’m still here. That’s why I’m still playing.”, commented the Italian a few days ago, before his entry into the Australian Open.
