Did Sinner do anything wrong? NO
Did his coach do anything purposefully wrong? NO
Did his physio make a mistake and should have been more cautious? YES
Should Sinner be treated like other players who in the past were banned? NO, because he had 1 billionth of a gram of a metabolite in his body, you could get a billionth of a gram by brushing hands with someone who has something on their hand.
Do the governing bodies need to be fairer on lesser known players who have been treated harshly? YES
are Kyrgios and McEnroe absolute idiots who didn't even look at the science and will regret slating Sinner? YES
Are people who lap up tabloids and social media dumb with half a brain and gullible? YES, we cannot protect people from their stupidity.
Haha that’s funny and true!!!
All correct, with one caveat. The reasons why some players have or haven't been banned are at least in some cases not only linked to the amount found but to the ability to show within short deadlines how the substances entered their bodies and how they hadn't done anything wrong. If the Sinner team hadn't understood and explained immediately what had happened, things would have been very different for him, no matter how low the amounts had been. This was their luck, as some players in the past had no clue of how it happened and were therefore unable to defend themselves by showing how they hadn't done anything wrong, either, neither voluntarily nor by negligence.
Too much is too much. When a ball is out, its out
If Sinner is so innocent, then why didn't he fire his physio 5 months ago? Also, no one buys his excuse, he failed TWO drug tests. An Italian player was banned for 4 years for the exact same thing last year and used the same excuse, too!
@@samd7135 which player?
Remember that you have much more supporters than haters. We love you!! Show us good tennis and US open win!!
This will be known as the Sinner Precedent. All players should be thanking him for the way he dealt with it, not admonishing him. Ironically, it was a blessing in disguise for future players. Maybe they will allow for more time to deal with these issues rather than banning someone in such a short time frame.
Verissimo 🎉🎉😊😊😊😮 un garçon courageux 🎉🎉forza jannik 🎉sempre !!✌
What makes you think the process and the outcome didn't work as intended (designed)?
The problem is that if they can't identify the source of the contamination, they have to ban the player from playing because they don't know if they're still being contaminated. That's what happened to Halep. She didn't know where the drug came from. Sinner was, in fact, banned instantly. But he immediately identified the source so the ban was lifted.
I like what you said,,
when Halep situation a lot of players and media were saying that been handled in bad way , now they should said job done but they love to complicated the problem even more.
Jannik all the way 🦊💪🏼🔥
@@Em.A07 The thing is, people believe that all cases are the same and should last the same. Both ideas are absolutely incorrect, because cases can be very different and some can take much longer than others.
Halep's case could have been shorter, that's a fact... There was a lot of time wasted between her hearings with the ITIA, many were postponed for different reasons and she had to wait longer than she should have.
But it would have been literally impossible for her case to last the same as Sinner's case, firstly because she denied the first charge, secondly she had 2 different charges against her, and lastly, because even a month after she was notified of the failed test, the ITIA didn't know that she had used Keto MCT, because she forgot to declare its use in the doping control form and during the first interview she had with ITIA
Go Jannik! Best wishes for NY Open..you are absolutely phenomenal..HUGE respect...
👏
Yeahh give the Dopeman all GS.. goooo Dopeman yeeeeeahhh
@@srbija.1389. Ma va a cagher...
Wow!!!! Sinner saying he had low expectations for himself shows you how he really felt down low, regardless of what people saw. He is 23 and he cares about what people think of him. He is going through a period now that he will have to navigate what happens through this and how it gives meaning to his life, which no one can help make that decision for him but him! I know I am cheering even harder for Sinner with great empathy as he knows his tennis career could have been postponed or ended with a different decision! Honest man!

Great propaganda. Ohh how great Sinner is. He suffered, he is honest, he is.....hahaaaa, this is just what is expected by media, to continue with covering and working on Sinner's innocent image.
@@Sofia-gq9nb The fact that Sinner is innocent is a reality, not an opinion. Inform yourself well before commenting.
@@siottopintor6147 innocent status can be bought. I am informed, but don't believe. He was twice positive and nothing for 5 months. In the meantime he won Cincinati.
As you wish, you may believe. I don't.
Blame the system, not the innocent player.
I think that many other players would wish jannik this, problem is that they should afford a good legal team the economic difference is too much deep sadly
The Italian should be stripped of the 2023 America's Cup helmet and given to Medvedev..
@@tnc137 america's Cup?
@@anto-sk4ce That's not the only difference... If the player isn't fully transparent and cooperative, if the player denies the charges after they're notified they tested positive, if the player asks for a B sample to be tested, if they can't identify the source of contamination or they can't present solid convincing evidence for how the substance entered their body, if they can't proove the usage was accidental, if they don't have an expert opinion to back up their claims, if the ITIA's expert can't reach a consensus with the player's expert opinion, if they don't have a convincing argument supported by the rulebook for the lifting of the provisional suspensions, if the player does anything that damages their credibility... Then the case will be much longer.
Like Sinner's case mentions, he was transparent and cooperative since the first minute, he accepted the charges, they could identify immediately where the susbtance came from because Clostebol basically can't be found anywhere else than in those 2 italian skin products most people have at home in the med cabinet, they could explain the mechanism of contamination because the physiotherapist had indeed used the product. That's why his case went so fast, it was a simple case. And also, he's an important player on the tour right now so the authorities clearly prioritised his case, which is unfair for the other players, because all cases should be considered equally important, but its NOT Sinner's fault and it's NOT unfair that his case was handled properly
@@anto-sk4ce That's not the only reason his case was short. Some cases are more complicated than others, some investigations take longer, sometimes it's harder to find the source of contamination and to test it to prove that's how it entered the system...
Why nobody talks about the case of Bortolotti (best ranking: 355)? He was tested positive for clostebol as Sinner, his innocence was acknowledged and his case cleared more quickly than that of Sinner's. By the way, he was defended by only one lawyer. What is the difference with Sinner's case? This case is useful because it revealed the type of persons Kyrgios, Shapovalov, Djokovic et al are.
Djokovic et al didn't do anything wrong... Their statements were neutral, they didn't make assumptions, they were not disrespectful, they did not question Sinner's innocence, they were pretty professional...
Kyrgios is a completely different case. But it's Kyrgios, it's not a surprise
Why Djokovic? Remove him from your comment
@@fraerot Notice how he expresses his "understanding" of those who are frustrated at the decision, saying "he understands the frustration/sentiments of the other players because of the lack of consistency/ questioning whether they were treated the same" - not exactly a balanced statement is it? just watch the video
@@angelnaydenov2974 yes ...he didn't pick sides which is very professional. . Remember Sharapova, Halep and few others who were at same position but were banned inmidiatly.? It would not be fair to side with one tennis player. And he is right of luck of procedure system. He has tried to create a player union (so ATP and WTA couldn't do one way decission) but was complete sabotage from Nadal and Federer !!! You can say what ever you like about him but he is sacrificing a lot for the young players and always praise them in high volume ALWAYS.
P.S when he was young Federer has trash him everytime.
@@fraerot Djokovic hasn't come out all that well. He's been hinting at a diffrent treatment for Sinner without explaining how he was treated differently. When you point the finger at a generic lack of inconsistency you are simply skipping over the differences between cases, and when you talk about different lawyer powers you are ignoring similar cases with the same results by players at the opposite end of the atp ranking.
They found an ammount of a substance that was so small that it didn't even have an impact on the body, why would you even call that "doping". I know that the media loves to blow up everything thats their business but come on! Leave the guy alone and let him play Tennis.
They found that amount when they tested, that means it was higher at some point before the test.
@@transamination Who knows? How do you know it? it could have been lower.

What an amazing interview all round. Jannik is such a sensible, level headed young man who is mature beyond his years. Glad to see him doing well at the US Open. Wishing him great things in his career!
Instead of demanding fairer judgments in cases deemed unjust, you all demand unjust punishment for those who have been fairly judged. That's sad, I wish to all of you keyboard bullies the best, it has to be hard to live in such a frustrated state of mind😔❤️🩹
So well put

@@jonlucente4709 Exactly, there's so many issues in this case that just don't add up and let people be suspicious. Why Sinner's team letting a known doping substance in Italy even get close to him? His physio rubbed his open wound contaminated with it on Sinner's open psoriasis wounds without using gloves? And he only fired this unprofessional, highly incapable physio yesterday when they knew about it since March?

@@fraerot But what are you saying? It was contamination. The physiotherapist having dressed a wound on one of his fingers, in massage transmitted an infinitesimal part of the molecule considered doping. And that's it. End.

🦊🧡🔥
@@gogigogi8835How do you know any player charged with doping is innocent or not?
The players have the right to express their frustrations; the standards/rules ought to be clear and consistent. Nevertheless, I believe Sinner, after having analyzed his thoughts and behavior through the years. He is guarded, perhaps even taciturn-and sometimes I swear he's a forty-year-old sage in the body of a twenty-three-year-old-and I perceive depth and maturity whenever I listen to him. I believe he is being truthful. I can't prove it, of course, but I don't sense duplicity and selfishness in his personality.
Dude, glad you believe Jannik but the Halep and Sharapova case are very different. Sharapova admitted she had been taking her substance for 10 years and admitted she didn’t look at the updated ban list from any agency and was negligent. Halep took a longer time to find out how the drug was administered in her body, however the levels in her body showed a great possibility it had a performance enhancement effect so she had to really prove her innocence. That is the rule! If you don’t know that rule then…
Theoretically, it is possible for a banned substance to enter the body through the skin, but the chances that such passive contamination-like a physiotherapist applying cream to a cut and then massaging a tennis player-would lead to a positive test result are very low.
This is because the amount of the substance that a player would absorb through the skin in this manner is usually minimal. Additionally, the metabolism and absorption rate through the skin are generally slower and less effective compared to other methods of intake (e.g., oral or injection). Moreover, most doping tests are designed to detect significant concentrations of banned substances, which typically come from direct and intentional ingestion.
For these reasons, claiming that a physiotherapist applied cream to themselves and then massaged the athlete, resulting in a positive doping test, would not be convincing without additional evidence or specific circumstances. Athletes are usually responsible for all substances that enter their body, meaning such an excuse would likely be subject to thorough investigation and probably would not be accepted without very strong proof.
@@mickaellandry9726Not sure what's your conclusion.
@@mickaellandry9726 The reason provided is barely believable. Also, keeping this as precedent, should all players - who provide food contamination as the reason for a failed drug test - also be declared to be at no fault. This one is a slippery slope, and the frustration of the players is totally warranted.
@@robertingersoll3039 I agree 💯👍!!
There is not pint to compare this case with Simona or Sharapova, no way.
The only common thing is that they are tennis players. That’s it.
Why that?

@@markopecinovic4475Indeed. It is ridiculous the double standards.
What a bs story.
Singer was tested 2x in 6 months on anabolics, if it was Djokovic he would have been banned from all tournaments ,they would crucife him
How has this been unfair for Halep and Sharapova according to the rules? In 2016, there was a rule that allowed the public announcing of the banned substance findings if the athlete won their appeal, which would also lift provisional suspensions. Sinner had to prove to independent bodies what and how the administration of the drug was not intentional and how he abided by anti-doping protocols. Sharapova ADMITTED to using the banned substances and didn’t change course when the substance Meldoium was banned and the agencies reported them being banned (negligence in not paying attention to the banned substances updates). It tooo Simon’s Halep a while to find out the facts of what and how she was administered and how that drug was unintentionally administered into her body!
Also she ingested it which is direct exposure. Here the person who used the spray was the physiotherapist not Jannik. If he had said that he used the spray then he would 100% be banned.
You should comment on a Halep or Sharapova video, not here.
@@bobbyfischerman4811 so why people keep commenting about halep sharapova or djokovic on Sinner videos ???

Djokovic and Alcaraz are a delusion. They remained vague although It is a fact that Jannick is totally innocent and they did not say a word in defence of a colleague. Djokovic is not anymore my GOAT.
Sinner is a champion and totally innocent after a rigorous investigation.
@@nathanrsm73 doper and cheater
doping fraud sadly
I am also so much disappointed at him. I supported him throughout the years, because I sensed a lot of racism against him, and I felt he had to do twice as much as Nadal or Federer in order to get the same respect. I hated that, I supported him and was glad to see him succeeding, most recently for his Olympic gold. But after hearing him hinting at separate treatments (NOT true) I lost so much respect for him.
Beautiful interview, really! THANK YOU
Jannik is one of my favourite player, he is such a humble, nice kid and with Carlos a good ambassador for tennis. And I do believe him but also agree with Dennis Shapovalov - different rules for different players. He wasn't suspended during this process (I don't count this couple days), he could play and do whatever he want. He even has platform (like ESPN) to tell his story. And agree with Novak who said a lot about this part and I hope that this case change how players should be treat when sth similar happen.
If other cases have been badly handled in the past, we can just be happy if this one has been better handled. Or shouldwe be happy to see athlets destropyed before being acquitted months later. Also the amount of substance makes the difference. In the case of Sinner it was so small that couldn't be considered doping.
I guess Shapovalov is frustrated for not being as good as predicted for him. There is no way this case was "handled" differently. This case was different because, as opposed to that of other players (who don't show up to controls or cannot timely provide justifications consistent to facts) facts, not protocols, were different
T@@ManOnJupiter2 exactly so!
Jannik don't worry. Focus on your game and keep going. Cheers.
As a professional player you must be 110% sure what go into your body. Simon Halep was handle badly and Sinner got off the hook(he was fined and some points taken from him ,so he is guilty). One player axed, other player nearly nothing. For Sinner it was twice. For Halep it was once. So unfair. Should be banned from tennis. Agree the system is not correct. Wrong is wrong.
Calling good evil and evil good.
is twice..but the tests was one right after the other in the a week..8 days in between to be precise
Forza Jannik!!! Sempre con te!
I’m so happy Jannick has Darren Cahill. He’s a mountain.
My question is: once the masseuse realized they used the cream, why didn't they report this? I would really want to know when Sinner and Team discovered this and what steps they took immediately after. They only discovered this when the tests were positive?
Cahill explained that they figured it out when they Said that the test had resulted positive, because they didnt even notice this At The moment of the contamination
@anto-sk4ce thank you, I understand. I'm not blaming Sinner and I don't think he cheated: I'm trying to understand the sequence of events, especially with how forthright his team was with the officials. This is the other problem, transparency. I wish there would be a detailed report somewhere from the Anti-dopinf officials for the common man to read
Jannik said they knew right away how this happened so I’m wondering if they knew that substance was in the spray when his physio treated him with it…..it’s an over the counter legal substance in Italy. It seems like they knew at the time they were using it.
Well, just to clarify... the physio used the cream on HIMSELF, not on Sinner, and it LATER transferred to Sinner during the massage. They wouldn't have realised there was transference at all if he hadn't tested positive.
@@morapelimokokomali7907 there IS a detailed report. ITIA website.
i think that rich players like novak should create a fund so poor tennis players can have access to money to pay for lawyers if needed.that would make things equal for everyone.
Campione fuori e dentro il campo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊
How can I get that product? Asking for for a friend.
Jannik said they knew right away where and how this substance got into his body then why did he let his physio trainer treat him with it knowing that spay contained a banned substance? He said we knew right away how this happened so to me they knew it contained clostebol which is sold legally over the counter in Italy. I think jannik is a good guy but the whole system seems really unfair. He is rich so he had the means to hire a great team of lawyers but not every player has that kind of money so if this happened to someone who has much lesser means they would have been suspended right on the spot and they wouldn’t have been allowed to play until the investigation was over and it would’ve been made public right away and that’s not fair!
Had it been an athlete from any other country, they’d been banned by now. So he’s now best known as Yannik ‘Dope’ Sinner.
I hope he turns this to a success story even though he is already a success story. He has nothing to do with what is happening to him and he is managing this very well. It makes me like him even more! Go Sinner! ❤
4:18 He says they trusted our story:) Not explanation but story..The amount of substance found is not an excuse, you can take medication to lower doping so that it can’t be traced..Jannik you ruined your reputation, unfortunately
We love Jannik and his credibility!!!🧡🧡🧡
It's always nice seeing the jealous haters. Along with all the Djokovic fans that are still upset after him being walloped at the AussieOpen. If this guy was doping or cheating, like you all hope, he would have been banned for years, just like Halep. Except Halep had enough in her system to give her an advantage hence the time reflection of the ban. He didn't have enough in his system to give a rabbit an advantage. Continue on with all your hate. When you look at the logic and so called fair treatment, you will realize you are wrong and the AtP has dealt with this same situation before with a lesser known player, and their is no special treatment here, despite the fact that top guys from all sports usually get some type of unique treatment, just not how it reads here in this particular situation.
Djokovic was actually neutral in his response not siding with anyone which as the most senior of the tennis players like a father thats how he should speak
@lanacastillo49 yea nothing against him. He answered it fine. Its a tough question cause everyone wants it fair. I dont oppose guys like Djokovic, nadal, federer, alcaraz getting special treatment because they are legends. Alcaraz is already a top tier talent that has 4 majors and rising. Guys like this deserve to be treated differently because they are different. In terms of stuff about cheating, thats a whole different story
So far all the players who have given their thoughts on the Sinner's case on press conferences have been absolutely respectful and professional

The 2 tests that he failed was about the Indian wells week , both of them , cause the rule says if a player has been tested positive they have to repeat the test after few days as a counter-test .
so when they found 0.000000001 clostebol in his blood they tested again him a second time with the same result.
People keep thinking that the amount was way bigger before don't know that Sinner has been tested 11 days before and the test was NEGATIVE!!!

Allora non voglio fare il fenomeno, ma le competenze le ho. A Wimbledon forse sono stato l'unico ad accorgermi che Jannik ha giocato al 60%. E tutti a elogiare berrettini che gli ha tenuto testa addirittura medvedev per la vittoria. Sentite quello che ha detto Jannik: "Mi sono ammalato spesso, ci sono notti che non dormivo pensando al procedimento in corso, non avevo energie e tutto questo si è visto, ad esempio a Wimbledon - dice Sinner -. Ci sono stati dei problemi fisici, forse anche dovuti alla situazione che avevo dentro, mi sentivo diverso in campo e non ero felice, non ero me stesso. Spero di riuscire a voltare pagina". Tutto come avevo capito. Praticamente spaccaracchette carlitos ha vinto due slam con Jannik al 60% e tutti a dire "Che fenomeno". Ma quale fenomeno, Jannik quando sta bene come a Melbourne gli slam li vince tutti lui e si vedrà ora agli US Open!

ESPN must have gotten to this interviewer because her talk with Sinner’s coach Cahill earlier was solid, she directly challenged him on several good points…but here she gives Sinner a cakewalk of an interview. It’s insulting. He deserved to be grilled on the whole secrecy of it all and other factors and the public, his competitors deserved to see or view it.
an army of experts declared that he is innocent. this is the only authority that counts in this case. all the comments and hate are useless as he can play. this is the reality

If that was Djokovic it would have been plastered all over news headlines straight away.. he would have been discriminated and shamed he can’t even look at someone sideways without being judged!

And he was suspended, despite his attempted food contamination excuse. But not all sports are treated or handle doping in the same way.

Additionally, clostebol found in his system was less than a billionth of a gram which does NOT enhance performance.
@@Sofia-gq9nbfor further clarification, in sports when they conduct these tests they always do multiple samples. If I test you for marijuana Monday and then again next week, if you were positive then; you’ll be positive again.
@@Sofia-gq9nb no sinner non ha fatto doping. Punto. Quantità irrisoria. Djokovic poteva sostenere di più in giovane che ha subito un errore così incredibile e in modo inconsapevole del suo, staff. Poteva spendere più parole di sostegno, tutto qua. È fatto così,uno squalo da gara, e basta
Dear Alcaraz You might say that "there are lots of things that we do not know in his team etc" but what we do know for sure is that Sinner is still in climbing the US 2024 while you and Dojovick remain outside of it with your bitterness and bitter comments about it. Class is not water...
CHEATER U FINALLY GOT CAUGHT TWICE !!!! SIGNED LANCE ARMSTRONG 😂
The system leaves a looot to be desired. At least Darren was and is part of Jannik's team. And as much as he supported Simona during her ordeal with ITIA, it was as a friend from the distance.
Look at where Simona is now. Basically, after being publicly crucified, her 2024 season is compromised and I'm afraid so is the remainder of her career. Not being able to play more than a little over one match, struggling with a knee injury, no one knows when she'll be able to resume playing. I was hoping for her ti at least get back in the top 10 WTA players, but that seems highly unlikely. Again, the system sucks. As Shapovalov said: "Different rules for diffrrent players."
Forza Jannik!
His reputation will - rightly so - suffer, no matter how hard ATP tries to save face for him and themselves. There will always be doubts about his wins from now on.
It doesn’t seems that the reputation of Zverev changed, with the tiny difference that Zverev is a domestic abuser
Even after a clear explanation that has been accepted. Predominantly prejudicial individuals may affect his reputation, but the levels of the substance were so low.
@@dubbelhelix That the levels were low at the time of testing is generally not an argument, ever. Doping works in cycles, microdoses, masking agents etc. This is not in regards to Sinner specifically but just to counter the very narrowminded argument that low levels detected means innocence. But Sinners PR has done a good job of putting it into peoples heads.
@@francesco7649firstly have you seen the kind of stuff people say about Zverev? lol. A lot of People despise him regardless of what the outcome of his case was. As for sinner, a lot of people now think he is a doper- social media is flooded with such comments. I am not accusing him, just informing you about the reality of this situation. Yes this label will follow him no matter what. It doesn’t matter what you believe or not, the court of public opinion is not something that can be swayed once the cat is out of the box. Also in sports, doping label is the worst and people don’t forget that easily. Especially in the day and age of internet, it will be brought up routinely.
Dareen and Jannik ❤
Even if I’ll believe his story and the report, there are a few things I’d like to say. As an elite athlete at this international level of play who is the face of ATP being world number 1, he should take responsibility for what goes into his body even if it was physio who contaminated him. It’s unacceptable that his team is so incompetent that they’re using banned substances on themselves and then using it on him. Stop deflecting all blame on them and take accountability- this is not your local tennis club 🙄.
Secondly, those players who he’s saying that now he know who’s not his friend, ARE NOT HIS FRIENDS. They are his colleagues and it is not their responsibility to go out and defend him or protect him for a mess that was created by his team. Have some respect for your fellow players. I wonder how he’ll be treated in the locker room after making such a tone deaf and entitled statement. I’m so shocked at all this.
Why does Darren Cahill students always end up being compromised by drugs? Agassi, Halep, and now Sinner.
I do believe Sinner...
Wonder what happened if he is Chinese tested 2x doped
god bless
I don't think and hope he doesn't do dope. But clearly one standard for the West and one standard for the East....
I would ask, how did the qualified pharmacist in his team allow a known banned substance to be used by the physio.
Why didn't he dismiss them months ago.
How does he feel employing a lawyer that also represents the ITF.
Physio are not athletes they can used any kind of substances. Also if easy to get in Italy as it’s a common spray and they claim it as outside the box.
1. He didnt allow it, but gave the spray to Naldi for personal rule. Its between him and Naldi what warnings he gave him. Naldi mistake was to think it was ok to use on himself while not thinking of cantamination
Resks.
2. He would say they wanted to first know all the details from the investigation. But ofcourse there was no other way.
3. This allowed and normal. The pool of lawyers with such expertise is small so they are being hired by different sides.
Comments are so naive
Kyrgios is absolutely right when he talks about preferential treatment thanks to his fame, expensive lawyers and a 2-year sentence.
In fact, 2 years are foreseen for domestic violence, not disqualification, but prison, and this for violence against his ex-girlfriend, a crime for which he was tried in February 2023 in the Canberra court.
His expensive lawyers, after failing to prove that the facts did not occur, brought forward the thesis of mental infirmity, a thesis that was accepted, therefore he was acquitted on the grounds that he had committed "a single act of stupidity and frustration" and not for not having committed the act.
(and if anyone still hasn't understood, the victim is called Chiara Passari and the accused Nick Kyrgios)
Kyrgios wasn’t convicted therefore he is innocent sinner was convicted different
He should have told his physio to keep the band aid on while massaging him.
Sinner is a sinner. Imagine how the world would have reacted if Tiafoe tested positive for the same drug.
Would love to find out how Novak seems to return from a knee operation at 37 and play at an even higher level. Im sure this system he talks about wouldn’t go anywhere near him.
Djokovic is one of most tested players so stop with the assumptions.
It seems you are still haunted with his Olympic gold victory....😂😂😂
If Djokovic was in sinner's position ATP establishment would have banned him for life including stripping away every trophy he won. Sinner should consider himself lucky that he is still playing.
@@jashwanth9999Not true. Djokovic would be treated like any other players. Stop being a victim.
@@tonibrown8166 Didn't he refuse a test at Davis Cup.
A SINNER IS A SINNER‼️SHAME‼️
Jannik 😍😍😍
I tend to believe him, but I also wanted to point out that most Americans give him the benefit of doubt and not some others on the basis of racism.
A lot of these players are doping whether it’s legal or not. The performance is too good these days
Novak speaking up. Nice
Ho 60 anni, ma un campione così l'Italia non lo ha MAI avuto, è una gioia solo sentirlo parlare, come dopo aver vinto gli AO ringraziando i genitori. Jannik, sei una benedizione per l'Italia e un esempio per i ns ragazzi , Italiani e non. FORZA caro Jannik !!!! 🇮🇹💪🏆🎾👏🫶
A doper, lolz.
Sinner sounds like Ryan Garcia with his excuses.
Just look at Jannik's absence of muscles, its clear the kid didn't take any drugs!🤣Forza Jannik!!!
I dont think he did, but this is a bad argument. Most tennis PEDS increase stamina, they aren't for strength
He actually buffed up quite a bit over the off-season (for his standards)
@@rickrivers2021 bad argument? what are you talking about? You can't make the difference between an argument and a joke? 🤣😂
@@rickrivers2021 Clostebol is an anabolic steroid, it's supposed to help build muscle mass and strength, not stamina.
I say supposed because it's one of the weakest AAS you could use, that's one of the reasons the tribunal ruled in Sinner's favor, the concentration in his sample was so stupidly low that it couldn't have had any effect at all
It's WAY more useful for dermatological use (skin products) to treat burns, abrasions, cuts, etc. It accelerates the formation of scar tissue on wounds. In Italy it's pretty common to have Trofodermin at home in the medicine cabinet
You are absolutely right, no muscle anywhere. It's odd even thinking he may have used something which he clearly didn't.
This guy is guilty, and he should be banned. They need to be consistent in their approach, there are so many players banned just for missing the test, yet alone this guy was tested positive twice. Where is the equality among the players regardless of their rankings and nationality.
Forza Jannik❤❤❤
If he is tested positive again, his story will be....his gf passes it to him ... juice!
Too bad it's not a story because there is a picture of his trainer with bandages... Sorry hater, try again
PR machine working overtime😂😂😂
who? Sinner? Hardly. Sinner has been speaking on this for a total of 25 minute in interviews... He has tennis on his mind, not this BS
It makes no sense that Darren Cahill gets to act as both analyst and coach. The conflict of interest is astounding. Regardless of what people think about Sinner and doping, Cahill gets to play interference freely with little to no pushback from his 'colleagues' in media. Ridiculous.
And you look even more ridiculous.
Yup, again, PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, all the way through, even in the media.
Not fair, others got harsh sanctions for much much less. ATP is a joke. I am expecting players to sue ATP. I belive Sinner but not ATP
Absolutely NOT for the same or less, what are you talking about?
@ritira20mila Troicki got 12 months for not testing even he got exclusion. So no dope in blood but punished for 1 year after long trial. Is that fair?
Sinner is paying a price bc the governing body doesn’t have a transparent and consistent process. The more transparent the process, the more consistent the process, the better.
It’s an obvious coverup
yeah the sinner is the victim lmao
The process is transparent according to the rules, the problem is no one read the rules and has assumed it’s a double standard without pointing out the differences.
Patrick McEnroe such a lies
@@jonlucente4709 Sinner isn’t Fed, Rafa, Serena or Sharapova. He’s a new champion. He’s not THAT important.
Unfortunately this is a big opportunity for the haters, it is going to take time to restore his image. I still believe him, and also believe in the authorities, however they must explain why the process was different compared with other players. At this point it has nothing to do with Jannik, he is cleared and good to move on.
Good luck carrot 🥕 man.
A week ago Sinner was a fan favourite, one of the most beloved players on the tour and now... well he's not
Haters obviously failed miserably in their lifes so are happy to spend their time trying to discredit good and honest people who unlike them made it.
It's the same old story.
Siempre todo totalmente mi apoyo sinner ❤
Ofc, from an italian. 😂
To not suspend Jannik is unconscionable. I don't care if it was a drop of doping substance, he was doping! Which therefore gave him the ability to train harder than his body normally would let stand. This guy is a coward in my opinion!
lol
❤
Forza Jannik🦊
the day is coming
Maybe once can be acceptable but doing it twice is different story
Don't look at the finger pointing at the moon: study how the banned substance works. Wada has scientifically proven that traces of Clostebol can be found in the body up to 30 days after a CONTAMINATION. The second test took place seven days after the first, in the meantime the physiotherapist continued to use the spray for his finger injury. More information, less 😡,
😂😂😂, non hai capito nulla
If a substance enters your body and you are tested twice over a short period of time, it doesn’t mean you “ did it twice”.
Obviously you know nothing about doping and about the process despite thorough experts'explanations.
He didn’t do it twice, he was tested twice in the span of a week to check it it wasn’t a false positive. As they all do when there is a positive test. And was still in this body in trace amounts.
As the video mentioned, this is more about the people governing tennis and the system than about Sinner. It’s just unfair for people
Like Halep and Sharapova who were treated very differently for similar offense…
How has this been unfair for Halep and Sharapova according to the rules? In 2016, there was a rule that allowed the public announcing of the banned substance findings if the athlete won their appeal, which would also lift provisional suspensions. Sinner had to prove to independent bodies what and how the administration of the drug was not intentional and how he abided by anti-doping protocols. Sharapova ADMITTED to using the banned substances and didn’t change course when the substance Meldoium was banned and the agencies reported them being banned (negligence in not paying attention to the banned substances updates). It tooo Simon’s Halep a while to find out the facts of what and how she was administered and how that drug was unintentionally administered into her body!
Halep and Sharapova were not a similar offense
Authorities must explain their reasons to skip provisional suspension.
@@adrianam1009 they didn’t skip the provisional suspension. He was suspended for 3 days where he couldn’t practice until they lifted the provisional suspension!
Every case is unique otherwise there wouldn't even be an investigation and the judge should always issue the same outcome for everyone.
If you are charged with an offense, not because other people were found guilty of the same offence then you should necessarily be declared guilty. It doesn't work like that because it would make no sense whatsoever.
