World No.1 Jannik Sinner has reached a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) which will see the Italian serve a three-month ban instead of a two-year suspension. Sinner was found by an independent tribunal of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to bear no fault or negligence. He twice tested positive for clostebol, a prohibited substance, in March 2024. The substance entered his system after coming in contact with a support staff member who had been applying an ‘over-the-counter spray’ which contained slight levels of clstebol. Repeated massages by the said support staffMember resulted in contamination. The Italian will be allowed to return to training from April 13. His return on May 4 will allow him to participate in the second grand slam of the season at the Roland Garros, the venue for the French Open. The French Open takes place in Paris, France from May 19 to June 8.
