Tennis World No. 1 Jannik Sinner Breaks Silence On Avoiding Ban Despite Failing Dope Tests

Sportsdesk:

Tennis world number one Jannik Sinner said Friday he was relieved to escape a doping ban after twice testing positive for a banned substance, even though "in my mind I know that I haven't done anything wrong." The 23-year-old Italian spoke publicly for the first time since the International Tennis Integrity Agency cleared him this week of wrongdoing, accepting his explanation that the drug entered his system when his physiotherapist used a spray containing it to treat a cut, then provided massage and sports therapy to the player.
