“Tennisists behave like hawks when it comes to another player, and like pigeons when it comes to them” – Sinner’s lawyer

The lawyer of the Italian tennis player Yannik Sinner Jamie Singer considers the sharp statements of other players to the first racket of the world, who was disqualified in the case of violation of anti -doping rules.

On Saturday, the World Anti -Doping Agency (WADA) officially confirmed the agreement on the settlement of the Sinner case. The Italian agreed to a three -month disqualification for violation of anti -doping rules. In March 2024, a metabolite of clostobol was discovered in his body. Sinner threatened up to two years of disqualification. He himself insisted on complete innocence. Initially, WADA appealed to the sports arbitration court (CAS), but subsequently withdrew it. Some players criticized the decision in the Sinner case.

– I think that tennis players always behave like hawks, when it comes to another player, and possibly like pigeons, when it comes to themselves.

This is very unfair. He [Синнер] The whole process passed from the very beginning according to all the rules. And there was no favoritism. It just happened that these circumstances were very unusual.

Players do not always have the opportunity to delve into all the details. Therefore, they simply express their opinion. But perhaps the facts really require a slightly more thorough investigation.

He believes that there was an independent tribunal, which decided that there is no need to apply sanctions to it. And yet, why does he accept [наказание в виде отстранения] Three months later? It took some time to convince him that this is really the right decision – to make the WADA offer, and not to bring the matter to the sports arbitration court (CAS), – Sky Sports quotes the words.

Sinner’s disqualification began on February 9 and will last until May 4. Thus, the Italian will not miss a single “Big Slam” tournament and will be able to play in French “Roland Garros”, which starts on May 25.
