Jannik Sinner-Federica Pellegrini storm: new outburst on social media

Federica Pellegrini does not regret at all her words on the Jannik Sinner case. The’former Italian swimmer had said in an interview that the South Tyrolean tennis player had been treated differently than other athletes found positive in doping controls. Her opinion drew criticism from media and fans, but the Olympic champion shot straight by responding to everyone on X.

“I remain of my calm opinion: despite the fact that you continue to be aggressive/repressive in the way you pose towards me. I have nothing more to add”, is the post of the’Azure, immediately targeted by hundreds of fans of the world number one.

In an interview with La Repubblica, Pellegrini had put it this way: “It&#8217s right to defend Sinner, but he was treated differently than all the other cases because so many have paid for negligence in the use of a drug. It’s fair because that&#8217s how doping is fought. Jannik is well-liked and therefore he is defended in every respect, no matter what, and I find that fair. But I think his case has been treated differently than 99 percent of cases”.

“As for strict liability with respect to the team, it should be said that it is not that if my physical therapist drinks a beer and runs someone over, it is my fault. But it becomes my responsibility if the physical therapist uses a cream on me and then I test positive. That applies to everyone, it is not the Sinner case that is strange”.
