Novak Djokovic’s PTPA rules after Jannik Sinner’s disqualification

The Professional Tennis Players Association founded by Novak Djokovic has issued a very harsh statement on social media regarding the three-month disqualification of Jannik Sinner agreed by the world number 1 with WADA for the Clostebol case, and more generally very critical of the justice sisema in the sport of tennis. Here is the text of the statement.

“Some issues are clearer, regardless of cheer. The ‘system’ is not è a system, è a club. Case-by-case judgment è in reality, only a cover for tailor-made deals, unfair treatment and inconsistent decisions”.

“It’s not just about different decisions depending on the players. It is about a lack of transparency, consistency, and credibility on the part of the'set of agencies charged with regulating sports and athletes”.

“It is about lack of commitment on the part of the ATP, WTA, Grand Slam tournament organizers, ITIA and WADA to reform and create a fair and transparent system for the future”.

“È an unacceptable situation for all athletes, the sign of a deep disrespect for the sport and fans. È time for change. And we will”.
