Jannik Sinner: strong and clear reaction to WADA appeal

The reaction after WADA’s appeal è loud and clear.

Jannik Sinner breaks his silence after WADA’s decision to appeal his acquittal after the Clostebol case. The South Tyrolean addressed the matter from Beijing, following his victory over Roman Safiullin (beaten 3-6, 6-2, 6-3). And in a press conference, the number 1 on the ATP circuit took stock of the situation.

"I feel very disappointed and also surprised,” Sinner told reporters present in Beijing.

My feeling è this is also because we had three hearings and all of them had gone very well for me. Then it è is not possible to control everything, right? I had known for two days that the appeal would be there, and that today it would become official. Overall, però it remains a surprise to me".

"The fact è that it really surprises me that the appeal is there. We are always talking about the same thing, and maybe they just want to make sure that everything is in the position it should be. In any case, I am fully convinced that in the end he will turn out to be innocent" concluded Sinner on the matter.

"The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirms that it filed on Thursday, Sept. 26, an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the case of Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner, who was found by an independent tribunal of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to be without fault or negligence for testing positive twice for Clostebol, a banned substance, in March 2024" è the document with which the appeal had been made official. "Absence of fault or negligence" è the aspect that the document contended against the Italian tennis player.
