From Yevgeny Kafelnikov a very harsh attack on Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner è again under attack over the Clostebol case. This time the lunge comes from Yevgeny Kafelnikov, 52-year-old native of Sochi, champion of Roland Garros in 1996 and the Australian Open in 1999 and former world No. 1, who on X also commented on the suspension of Iga Swiatek.

"Sometimes I wonder why the hell I didné t use steroids my whole career. So&eigrave; maybe instead of 170 matches a year I could have gotten to play maybe 300?” writes the Russian, who then continues: "There should be a lifetime disqualification for anyone caught using banned substances! No excuses and zero tolerance, no matter who you are!!!!".

"And the saddest part of all this è that young and up-and-coming players (12-16 years old) look at their idols and think that maybe è it’s normal to use steroids in the future and get away with it,” he continued. “Current players set a bad example for the younger generation. I was tested 15-20 times a year (from 1996 to 2002) during competitions and even off-season. Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about".
