Image if Russian or Chinese player tested positive? How Halep, Sharapova, feeling right now? Double standards are real, and it is ridiculous!
You obviously did not understand anything that was talked about
Or Serbian
Sharapova admitted INTENTIONALLY taking drugs for 10 years hahahahaha immagine saying she was innocent. Halep was treated unfairly but didn’t have any evidence supporting her innocence, which sinner had.you 🤡🤡🤡
🥱 Unnecessary victimisation. Different cases, end of story.

you accidentally hit a referee : default from US open. somebody uses illegal substances: welcome to US open. 😂😂😂what a world 😂😂😂
It's unreal lol
Don't forget refused to take drugs & was banned from Australian & US Open 😂

@@lz4737 The Chairman of the ATP is Italian.
Let's not forget the Italian mafia's far reach in sports re gambling systems and match fixing. This has been evidenced particularly in football, but also in other sports.
They were also behind the Maradonna drug scandal, that only came to light much later.
Why was the public kept in the dark when Article 13.3 of the Anti-Doping Program clearly states that all provisional suspensions under the Tennis Anti-Doping Program must be publicly announced? This is the most fundamental question any media outlet should be asking. And it's just the beginning. There are countless other questions demanding answers.
because there was no provisional suspension

@@maurizioberlanda100 But if he was provisionally suspended for even 1 minute, then technically he was provisionally suspended. Therefore, the public should have known about it.
@@maurizioberlanda100 It doesn't matter. The moment there is a provisional suspension in place, it is supposed to be publicly announced. They failed to do so - twice.
Imagine now these persons discussing exactly the same thing if it happened to Novak, Medvedev, Rublev, Dimitrov or any other player from not western countries .... it would be like "oh yeah sure, like he did not know, like his team mamber was not aware ... of course other players are attacking him, they are protecting their integrity ...", I mean this is ridiculous ...

also if you look at the last wimbledon one of the strictest rule of the tournament is that all players must wear only white colors. he had a visible large dark grey knee support pad and even though it was questioned they let him keep it regardless. it is not big deal for me but they let him change the rules. you think if the number 200th in the world had done that he would have gotten away with it?
They would put him on Mars.
I think this panel thinks we are idiots!!! Nothin to see, Sinner positive twice, he is number one, no worries this just a mistake, bad luck that all…ridiculous…
Yeah exactly, you said it. If you write nonsense like this than the panel thinks correctly about you.
It takes 30 days for the system to eliminate a substance. Test 2 was done to verify the findings of Test 1, just a few days later.
@@lilise3965yeah idk why people are wording it like that. If you test positive in any sport the test twice. But I think he received preferential treatment throughout this process.

Why are you covering up Sinner's doping? You suspended Maria Sharapova, Simona Halep, Gael Monfils, Viktor Troicki for much smaller things. Does Sinner have to be pushed in order for Djokovic to be removed from the throne of GOAT tennis? It hurts you so much that the Serb is the best tennis player of all time, so you have to dope your bullies, so that they can impose that GOAT title on someone else as soon as possible. Shame on you Sinner and ATP.

Poor Halep. They dragged her in the mudd
If he were a Serbian, Russian, Belarus or Chinese player, the ban would be very strong and heavy!
@3nonva
in April there was a similar case for another tennis player and no one was shocked: "It is a good thing that Marco Bortolotti has been fully exonerated and has not served a single day of disqualification. In the urine of the Emilian doubles player (n.106 in the ATP ranking of the specialty) traces of clostebol were found, an anabolic sadly known for the State Doping of the GDR in the 70s and 80s. However, the ITIA lightning procedure established that Bortolotti was not at fault and had not even committed any negligence. For this reason, the misadventure cost him just 440 euros and 16 ATP points, the loot pocketed at the Lisbon Challenger last October, during which the anti-doping control took place. But the story deserves to be told for at least two reasons. First of all, because the news was totally ignored by the Italian media (while it was reported by several foreign newspapers). Secondly, because the impressive speed with which it was resolved is surprising, in contrast to the slowness of many similar cases....." In any case, Bortolotti was granted the acquittal formula of “no fault or negligence”. This means that he was not at fault, and he did not even commit any carelessness or distractions. It would be interesting to know the details, but evidently they were considered too personal. There are many sentences with blacked out points, so it is not that sensational. Those of Dayana Yastremska (which in fact contained rather intimate details) and - more recently - of Simona Halep had several passages to protect privacy, so it is legitimate that Bortolotti enjoyed the same treatment. What is striking is the speed with which the ITIA archived the case: the sentence is dated February 7, just eight days after Bortolotti became aware of the fact.
Oh yeah and you are even more absolutely ridiculous and disgusting.
Stop crying baby. Grow up and get over it.
Tested positive twice since March 2024, but allowed to compete until Cincinnati and now still allowed in US Open. Purely disgusting

Nothing new
You know nothing about doping and nothing about the process and yet you write total nonsense.
This is why you will never be a lawyer let alone a judge.
Stop crryng. Nobody cares about you.
The ATP has a history of brushing doping violations of their top players under the rug. There is a zero tolerance policy on both tours which means it doesn’t matter how small the amount in a players system, it is immediate suspension from the tour. Look at Troicki, Gasquet, and Cilic.
The WTA seems to knows this look at Sharapova and Halep. The fact that Sinner failed two drug test for steroids and got no suspension at all even to investigate his innocence is absolutely unacceptable and a double standard and this is coming from a major Sinner fan.
It’s not 2 tests over a number of weeks. The second test done immediately after positive result to confirm the result. So really just one positive test.
It is 2 tests positive over one week ! One in the US, one in Italy !!!
@@whatevs1700There was an 8 day gap between the 2 tests.

The fact that Djokovic lost opportunities for Slam titles due to not getting elbow surgery, hitting a lineswoman in the throat, and not getting vaccinated but still has the Slam lead strengthens his GOAT claim for sure. On the other hand these are things he had control over and one can’t help but wonder how much more he could have achieved if he didn’t keep shooting himself in the foot like this
Inconsistent!-should have same rules for everyone. So why did they fine him?
Please, inform yourself
In the ruling, in the first few pages, it is clearly stated that the player (any player) is responsible for the actions of his staff. Some doping substance got into his system, and even though he is not to blame for it, he did not control enough that it did not happen.
For all those who defend Sinner by pointing out the insignificant amount of doping found in his blood. Like many before him, he was doped back in January with the task of stopping Djokovic at AO. He was tested in March when it was assumed that the illegal substance had disappeared from his blood. It turned out that it had not. And he is not the only one. Many players were allowed to do everything in the "Finally take down Djokovic" mission.
Where are all the people now who accuse Chinese athletes of being Drug cheats , from what I can see they are ALL missing in action, hypocrites
They are here, asking for Sinner to be treated like any other athlete, 2 years suspension.
You have to do better than this.
Try hating harder next time.
He’s dirty. His wins are now suspect. You need gobs of that stuff to make it into a drug test, even if there were lesions on Sinner. A cut on a physio’s hands needed gobs of the stuff? We’ve all got cuts on our hands. Does what they’re saying make any sense? No. Besides, in order for drugs to be absorbed via the skin, then appear in the blood, you need greater surface area, how often you are exposed to it, whether the area was covered with a seran wrap to increase heat on the skin, which will dilate the capillaries to absorb the drug, and more. Bottom line is that drug absorption via the skin is not that easy. Minuscule amount showing up means nothing. Cheaters know the pharmacokinetics of a substance and will take it so that by the time the drug test is done, the drug is washed out of the system by the kidneys or by liver. Often times they get caught because the substance is removed slower than expected due to other factors, like drug interactions, which slows down the kidneys or the liver, allowing the substances to circulate in the body longer than expected. Also, unless the stuff used for the finger cut is pure steroids-and I can’t think of any reason a pure anabolic steroid would even be in a product used for a finger cut-the banned substance would only be one of the ingredients, which already minimizes its ability to appear in the blood… However, if the substance was taken in enough quantity, and to a very large surface area and applied often enough for that thing to show up in his drug test, it might be possible for it to show up in a drug test. This whole story by Sinner is full of malarkey. AND I find it highly suspicious that Sinner is Darren Cahill’s second high profile player who tested positive for banned substance. This is why I think Sinner’s highly suspect for using this stuff, and not by accident.
Minuscule amount in the drug test wouldn’t enhance his performance? There’s minuscule amount when the drug test is done, cuz the bulk of it had already washed out of his system. Do other cheaters caught have large amount of a banned substance in the drug test? It’s always trace amount. Why? Cheaters know the pharmacokinetics of a substance and will take it so that by the time the drug test is done, the drug is washed out of the system by the kidneys or by the liver. Often times they get caught because the substance is removed slower than expected due to other factors, like drug interactions, which slows down the kidneys or the liver, or illness can alter the removal process, allowing the substances to circulate in the body longer than expected.
Jan doesn't need sustances to win. Fu-ck you
Novak should get busted also then lol 🎉😂😂
U got a great conspiracy theory going on 😆! Seriously why do you think Jannik would be given special treatment? Lol he just only won one grand slam so far and he doesn’t have that big of a celebrity pull like Federer, Nadal or even Djokovic. He was tested twice as it is a practice in any sport to make sure that it wasn’t false positive. Second test is like a confirmatory test. Further when someone tests positive they simply don’t ban a player. There’s investigation and thorough interviews with the player and team that take place. Ofcourse if the team is not going to cooperate they don’t have any choice but to ban the players until they can figure out what was the reason for positive test. Sinner and his team cooperated with ITA and the issue was resolved. Im not trying to defend Sinner here, but I doubt a player like him would ruin his budding career this way. Why all the hate towards him? You going to doubt his achievements purely based on this? Just grow up if it’s that easy to win tournaments then why so many players wouldn’t want to go down that path??
@@ssds86i feel bad for you and your favorite cheating player :(
Novak banned for NOT taking a drug! 😂
How can a trainer/ medical person at his level have anything in his possession that contains anything on the banned substance list. Sounds a little incompetent unless it was not on the list of ingredients. Respectfully
Because banned substances aren't necessarily illegal/dangerous substances, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the substance has no purpose other than sports doping.
For example, there are inhalers that you could give to your kid who has asthma, but they would not be allowed for certain athletes because they contain steroids. It would be ridiculous to place restrictions on people who come into physical contact with him. The player should be responsible for what they consume and nothing else
do you believe that BS explanation? u dumb?
It's always some team member. Some trainer, intern, temp, etc etc. You know the drill.
They all know what they did and did it deliberately. The ATP will NOT do anything cos he is the only rival to Carlos. If he's not there and Novak retires, tennis will become boring and they can't build a huge rivalry between them.
All of them on this panel are clearly pushing a narrative that it was a miniscule amount, blah blah blah. Trust me if this was someone else specially a non western European or American player, they would've been banned.
Heck they even tried to end Monica Seles back in the day cos she was Yugoslavian and was beating a German Steffi Graf
Imagine neosporin, or lotion containing a banned substance. Like people put chemicals over their body everyday and we don’t really care to read the ingredients in it. Also if the traces is one billionth of a gram, I could care less then if that much was in his bloodstream.
why are we finding out about this now and not when it happened many months ago?
Because it's none of your business. They don't have to tell you in advance.
Nobody cares about you dude.
Stop crryng.
So, that's why his play drammaticaly improved in the last 12-18 months ....
Why don’t you take it and see if you dramatically can play tennis at his level! How foolish n ignorant are you man grow up
That's why he skipped the Olympics.
How conveniently they avoided the subject of the ATPs double standards. It’s not about whether Sinner tested positive or not. It’s about how the ATP treats players differently. In other cases all info was made public and players were banned immediately while here not only was he banned for minimal days but the process was completed rapidly and also kept hush hush
You know trying to learn something is simple but it requires some effort. Take some time and learn that if you appeal a decision and you win the appeal, then they have to wait the end of the investigation to disclose their finding. So stop spreading ignorance.
@@MrLuka977You are just a Sinner bot defending him, keep quiet you hypocrite

What's wild is your apparent inability to understand that this situation is not analogous to Halep's situation.

These broadcasters are a bunch of fakes protecting the interests of MONEY into their sport. There should be no double standards. He will always have this accusation on his record. It happened early in his career, so perhaps the governing bodies felt people would forget about this incident after a few years.
Double standard, what happens if it was Novak?
LOL, that story doesn’t sound TOO contrived, lol! I always wondered how the carata🤥 developed his leg muscles so much over the last year, now we know…his physio cut his finger so badly that it required anabolic steroid cream to heal, yet not so badly that it required a bandage. Lol, so the physio gave Sinner a full body massage with an open cut on his finger, didn’t bother to dress the wound or wear gloves, transferred the banned substance onto Sinner’s body and it penetrated his skin to the extent that two urine tests done eight days apart detected the substance, hmmm🤔🤡
Double standard.
Double idiot.
I'm not saying Sinner is a doper but I find it very hard to understand that this took place, nothing was said plus the way it was kept under wraps. This panel right here is trying to be diplomatic and also being dishonest about what they really think.
It's not hard to understand, if you documented yourself well you would not be surprised.
Where's the USADA to protest that the tennis player can't play due to steroids. The USADA only complains when its an issue in China. Notice the tennis player tested positive for anabolic steroids twice and the USADA has gone silent on this issue. Maybe USADA thinks that its perfectly fine because the player is yt. I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you that USADA doesn't want this yt player banned even though he tested positive for steroids twice.
This is not acceptable . I have Physio always wear glove in my life since in the 80’s. The panel is well pick to discuss why we should consider which country have difference rules. Period. This is going to open the window wider from now on. How the next player having the same be treated?
Oh yeah and you are even more unacceptable.

You are dodgy.
Stop ranting baby.
Lol, Sharapova didn't dope, the drug that got her, is like mints in Russia, everyone takes that and the effect that drug has is considered questionable. Sharapova is Russian that was the problem. the Sinner story is bonkers.
So taking a drug she knew was banned by world sports is OK because Russians still took it? 😂😂😂
Tested twice positive. How much spray did his physio used? 10 dozes? hahaha
If this happened to Djokovic, he would be in prison and he hasn't even been vaccinated yet 😂😂😂

I’ve seen plenty of cases of suspend now, ask questions later. Many players have been untreated fairly, not to say Jannik did anything wrong. There seems to be inconsistency in how these cases are handled.
The rules are the same for everyone but the lawyers aren't the same. In this world if don't have enough money you' re in trouble. But this isn't Sinner's fault. It's not Sinner who created the big system we are living in.
Is anybody actually buying this nonsense story?
No
Only fanboys
ATP
No!!
you don't need to
Where's Michael Phelps who said that ANYONE caught once with steroids should be banned for life. Michael Phelps has gone silent probably because he might be Jannik's friend so I guess its ok.
They scorched Halep, imagine if this happened with the GOAT Novak.
if sponsors and big money say he's not guilty, then he's not guilty. Welcome to professional sports🙃
He should be banned and investigated. This is unfair to all other players!
Novak would have been ousted immediately, and then a smear campaign, and then trying to strip him of all his titles...because he is a Serb. Sinner is an Italian. Therefore: No problem! Continue! All the latest cases of doping in tennis shows that there are 2 sets of rules, depending on your country of origin.

Justice for Sharapova!!!
halep situation was handled differently wow this guys are so fair!!!
Halep is woman that what Serena said no one violated man player but to woman they strict and rude
The case of Sinner is similar to that of another Italian tennis player, Marco Bortolotti. The 33-year-old, who had a best ranking of number 355 in the world in singles and 102 in doubles, tested positive for anabolic steroids in October 2023 during the Lisbon Challenger tournament. The positivity was confirmed by counter-analysis in February 2024. Bortolotti did not contest the results of the tests but provided an explanation to justify the accidental ingestion of the substance. "The player's explanation was credible," explains the International Tennis Integrity Agency, the same body that ruled Sinner innocent due to the absence of intent or negligence. Bortolotti's performances in the Lisbon tournament were cancelled and the player lost the prizes he had won in Portugal: the same treatment reserved for Sinner, stripped of points and prizes obtained in Indian Wells, where he tested positive.
Sad. Sinner was one of my favorite players. He's talented, young, and world no.1 right now, but cheating is unacceptable in all sports. I hope the organization can conduct a detailed investigation and prove him guilty. Dopers shouldn't be allowed to participate in the competitions.
Sad you understood nothing about what really happened. Maybe you got caught with the heaters cluttering the social media.
Sinner would be happy to have someone like you who doesn't even try to understand how things stand not to support him anymore.
Please do him a big favour never ever support him again.
Well, 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive, and the amount was also so small that WADA deemed it has no performance enhancing effects, accepted the food contamination excuse and also kept it under wraps until of course, it came out. I hope all these people making excuses for Sinner who not only test positive once, but twice, didn’t bash the Chinese swimmers during the Olympics.
Everyone knows those Chinese swimmers should have been banned and stripped of medals. Doesn't matter how banned substances get into your system. Deliberately or accidentally, the effects are the same.
Just remember Darren Cahill is now involved with two high profile players for doping! Coincidence? Not likely.
And high risk Verdasco
Check facts. Darren Cahill wasn't Simona coach at that time. It was Patrick Mouratoglou.
Just remember you are now involved with double nonsense statement. Coincidence? Not likely.
Who is supposed to believe that? I certainly don't believe it! Even the masseur should have known that his medication could pass into Jannik's body. He was either incompetent or negligent. This kind of thing shouldn't happen to such top athletes. And why is Halep getting a harsher punishment than Sinner? It's all a clown show!
Because Sinner did not doped but suffered contamination, they are two different things
@@67DELFINA Whoever believes that also believes in Santa Claus!
Trace of doping (look at the quantities) will give you NO ADVANTAGES to the performance. Use your brain.
Something's fishy.
Why would someone with a cut finger would give someone else a massage without wearing gloves???
Why are we just learning about this now?
Have you even listened to this video?
So y’all trying to convince us that they were rubbing cuts together like blood brothers. Sounds kinda fishy to me. Most people who have cuts would use gloves when having to come in contact with someone like that. Not to mention that Sinner also had open skin. Such an infection risk.
Do you know what level of cut the person had? You don't have to necessarily drip blood.
A healing cut would have an impaired enough skin barrier to increase absorption.
@@MrLuka977 my point is, if the physio person has a open cut, why would he then rub that open cut on another persons open cut. I’m not saying it’s not true. Just sounds fishy.
@@lgiselle7549 But you have no base to think it was an open cut. You are just guessing to then say it's fishy. Even some wound that his not completely healed may be enough.
@@MrLuka977 NO
and the amount might have been small when he was tested
but was it when he took it? perhaps weeks earlier
The issue here is not that Sinner is not banned, its that players in the past have been banned for similar or even less then this...nothing against Sinner, but double standards in the world are horribile. Reminds me of covid AO when a couple of players with medical examption came and even played a match of qualies but when Djokovic came they locked him and then had to lock those players as well, which they wouldnt have done if Novak wasnt there...double standards all the time
Dude, Djokovic wasn’t vaccinated. End of discussion.
@@blackdragon7038 the couple of other players too. They were only kicked out after Djokovic was. Clearly double standard! End of discussion.

@@mas5589I apologize to you. These days I am getting sick and tired of the very many haters. I read your post once again and I realized now you didn't mean to wish Sinner to be dissolved. My fault. please forget about my message.
@FabioSangiorgi-vu5eg No worries, mate. I'm a fan of Sinner, and that is why he let me down. But my wish for the future is to enjoy his tennis and many finals with Carlitos! Imagine what games we can live! Warm regards
@@mas5589 Thanks for your understanding mate. Believe me this doping has made me sick.
I hope it's an opportunity for the doping agency to still do their job without destroying athletes'life's. I stand by all athletes including Halep , Ymer and Brooksby whose careers were destroyed. This can happen to anyone and hope even the low ranked players have a fair chance to defend themselves although the defence is very expensive. Thanks mate. Have a nice day.
It is not a problem of good or bad intention to dope. It is a problem of the fairness of the game because the substance can improve performance. What about other honest players, too stupid to perform bad？
Exactly. Cheat deliberately = ban.
Cheat accidentally = that's ok.
You know nothing about doping and nothing about the process and yet you write total nonsense.
Stop ranging hater, Back.off.
Strange very strange. His lawyers were ready at the moment with appeal. And took extremely short period of time to decide on that appeal. Simone Halep had to wait almost a year for her appeal. Victor Troicki was banned for a year just for showing up for testing in the morning next day instead previous evening . Even he was excused by doping agency doctors due to high fever that evening. Automatic suspension for a year felled to show up for testing! BTW he tested negative!!! Very strange !!ATP must be more transparent with their policies and decisions.
You are strange, very strange.
Stop crryng hater.
What in the italian privilige is going on here?!
No privilege here. We don’t claim him anymore, all Austria’s.
This doping allegation is a real heartbreaker!💔
It's not doping, it's contamination, they're two very different things
Same.
It is not doping is negligence for contamination of a banned substance
It’s not a allegation if it happened lol
Sharapova?!!!!
Shameful verdict.the guy is a cheater
Doesn't matter how banned substances get into your system. Deliberately or accidentally, the effects are the same. Apply bans equally.
Same thing happened to Halep and yet she was suspended.
same thing DID NOT happen to her
It's not the same. They ruled she had enough of a concentration of roxadusat to have an advantage. Whereas they found 1/1 billionth of clobetasol in Jannik's test. The only similarity is that they both had been unknowingly contaminated.
In addition to what other people said: even though it was determined that Halep's sunstances were contaminated, she had omitted records of taking those substances before learning that they were contaminated. There was definitely an element of Halep not wanting to be in a position where she could know anything in the first place
Halep is cheater just like Kerber and Đoković.
All 3 improved their stamina at age 22/23 over night and started running like rabbits , bring al balll back until oponnents get tired.
@@damirdamir1180Prove it Djokovic is a cheater. You are just a hater.
Any single person who actually believes this was inadvertent knows nothing about sports. If you ask any sports doping expert about this, they will tell you it is extremely unlikely that this was an accident. Especially since this coincided with his extreme rise in form.
Ma come fai a scrivere queste scemenze, il tuo cervello pesa meno della sostanza trovata 1/1000000000 di grammo
Buddy I don’t care for Sinner much but if you read the tribunal, it literally says the amount found in his body would have 0 effect on his performance. And he was tested twice in 8 days, on both occasions the amount was the same.
@@hottakes2633 the “independent tribunal.” Sounds legit…and just because he had that much in his system then, doesn’t mean there wasn’t much more before. I think it’s highly unlikely, and I bet you that dopers themselves would laugh at the notion it’s an “accident.” Let’s ask Lance Armstrong what he thinks 😆
@@hottakes2633Are you aware that the very same doctors engaged in doping do have ways to hide said doping from tests, right? If hiding doping was not a thing, no one would do it.
Wowwww really!!! Pratically sinner dopped himself using a super tiny quantity (billionth of a gram) for improving his performances.. he improved and raised in a super form just dopping with that quantity... amazing !!! Really the new frontiere of doping this was by sinner !!! You must be one of the most clever people on earth i think
rules are rules. many athletes in track and field have never tested positive for ped, but they got banned for 2 years for missing out of competition drug tests. he tested positive twice for ped. he should be banned for a minimum of 2 years. there should be no exceptions.
You know nothing about doping and nothing about doping and yet you write nonsense about this delicate issue.
Stop crryng
The ATP playing favoritism
Must the test results take so long to be revealed to the public?
He is having a career year and surges to Number 1 but HAPPENS to accidentally test positive for steroids twice.
Yes, because now 0,000000001 mg/l of steroids makes you a superhero winning everything... 🤣🤣🤣 Another one living in his fairytale World, oh my... Why don't you try yourself? You probably have 100 times the steroids of this guy in your own body without even knowing, but I bet you could not even get one ball from him.

@@FabioSangiorgi-vu5eg Hello Italian cheat! 👋
I don't know about you, but I think he just "finished" his career with this.
All y’all on her just giving dam excuses I wonder if the tennis player had a different skin tone would y’all give him the benefit of doubt. We know it will be all over sports channels if it was a different skin tone smdh
Not sure about that, at this point the media is working against those who possess sinner’s skin color. 15-20 years ago though your statement would hold a lot of validity. Sinner, however, deserves a ban of multiple years.
Wrong. If this had been Coco Gauff, the media would either not report this at all or spin it into a narrative to make her a “victim” If zverev had been shelton or tiafoe the media would also have spun the narrative differently. The western liberal media has an agenda to protect certain people.
Ah… are you aware that Sharapova and Halep have the same skin tone and got banned for a long time. A number of white men also. Your own bias has you jumping to unfair conclusions.
Lol try being Serbian or Russian in tennis ???much worse than black
Minuscule amount in the drug test wouldn’t enhance his performance? There’s minuscule amount when the drug test is done, cuz the bulk of it had already washed out of his system. Do other cheaters caught have large amount of a banned substance in the drug test? It’s always trace amount. Why? Cheaters know the pharmacokinetics of a substance and will take it so that by the time the drug test is done, the drug is washed out of the system by the kidneys or by the liver. Often times they get caught because the substance is removed slower than expected due to other factors, like drug interactions, which slows down the kidneys or the liver, or illness can alter the removal process, allowing the substances to circulate in the body longer than expected. He used it, it stayed longer than expected.
Clostebol is basically testosterone.... Ok man, you should go to the gym instead of doping and creating ludicrous excuses.
Steroids that are used to treat Sinner's physical therapist's wound. Sinner never had direct contact with the drug.

@@aval964hes a bot
@@aimersan5320 I see that it is your habit to speak without verifying. It seems to me that you are the trolls.
@@aval964 I don't know if I understand the idiomatic phrase correctly. I read the 33-page ruling that is easily found on the Web, and I quoted a passage.
Fortunately, this is an Olympics year and if there’s a place that would catch cheaters, it’s the Olympics. The fact that Sinner wasn’t caught is absolute proof that… whoa… wait a minute… Sinner wasn’t at the Olympics!!! Twice… what does that mean, twice the same day or twice over two weeks?
For me, the $$$ riding on this makes Sinner's excuse re doping seem a little implausible.
$$$ hundreds of millions on the line, but members of his professional team just trot off to the drugstore, close their eyes, & pick a medication? Especially when clostebol issues are well known.
If that were the case--that there's virtually no medication protocols within players' teams--I'd expect a lot more positive doping tests, since MANY prescribed/OTC meds contain banned substances.
Instead what makes more sense is that players & their teams have prescribed & proscribed lists of meds--for x ailment, always choose ONLY THESE meds. NEVER use these meds. It's hard to imagine team members for the highest ranked players in the world are simply sent to the pharmacy & told "pick one".
Also, in the package of the clostebol you can buy in Italy, it clearly says on the package that you can easily see, "WARNING: Doping."
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Comparing this to other players makes no sense every situation is different . It makes no sense punishing a player because a player in the past has. The incredibly small amount proves it was an accident and the whole reason it was kept secret I believe was for it to not blow up and for false accusations to be made. It’s funny how players who have commented including Nick and Shapovalov are only remembered for their terrible attitudes on the court
Small amount because most of it got washed out before the test. The cheat needs to be banned
“Less than a billionth of a gram” is key here and the fact they even ruled it contamination and not enough to even affect his performance. He’s fine, people can stop the hate! Lol
You *do* understand that just there was a billionth of a gram in his system when they tested him, doesn’t mean there wasn’t much more before right? Over 50% of all clostebol positive tests are Italian. This is because it is sold OTC in Italy. You’d think that Italians would be more careful about “accidentally” using it, right?
Well, it’s actually probably just because of the fact it’s OTC, it gives the players the perfect excuse if they do test positive. This is the same substance that Fernando Tatis (MLB) was suspended 82 games for.
Djokovic would’ve been suspended it’s biased thing
@@Mark-ut5oq How much OTC was in the test of Tatis when he got suspended? That's the whole point. You can't know how much more there was before, so you can't say there was a lot. Also if there's a lot, it doesn't vanish quickly, while these guys have frequent enough tests to verify that. Athletes who are suspended are found with way larger amounts. That's why they get suspended, because there's no way they might have assumed by mistake such large quantities. Scientists are saying that Sinner's explanations are plausible, not ignorant people like us. So stop making your own faulty arguments.

@@MrTheRabberThank you!
maybe next time wear a gloves??? Ofcourse that is Sinner and not Simona
What's most infuriating to me about this situation is thinking about other players--particularly on the WTA side, like Simona Halep and Maria Sharapova--whose careers were devastated by doping rulings. This is a complete whitewash, and I hope there is much more to come about this in the coming days/weeks ahead.
And what's even more infuriating is to read your nonsense.
Document yourself before even thinking of bitching about this case.
Stop crryng.
Double standards. Check Kamila Valieva whose grandpa made her a sandwich... 6 years ban and all medals taken.SHAME!
Do you remember the case of Troicki (SRB)? He refused to give blood and test immediately after the match, because he did not feel well. After a few hours, he gave blood for testing and the result was negative. For not giving blood at the same moment when they asked, he received a one-year suspension. When these two cases are compared, everything becomes clear.
Sharapova is Russian and Troicki is Serbian while Sinner is Italian, bro. Do you understand how world politics works? Not one single player from team USA is tested at the Olympic Games, while all other players are tested. Do you start grasping how world politics work, bro?
