More Details On Sinner’s Positive Tests, Suspension Appealed

Many tennis fans wonder how Jannik Sinner is eligible for the US Open after March tests revealed two positive tests for a prohibited substance. According to the Report From The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), Sinner explained the banned substance entered his system through an over-the-counter spray in Italy to heal a wound, and the ITIA concluded his explanation was credible.

“A thorough investigation by the ITIA followed, including multiple in-depth interviews with Sinner and their support team, all of whom co-operated fully with the process.  Following that investigation, and in line with the independent scientific advice, the ITIA accepted the player’s explanation as to the source of clostebol found in their sample and that the violation was not intentional.”

Due to Sinner falling in the lines of “No Fault or Negligence” and complied with all investigation, he received no period of ineligibility and successfully appealed both provisional suspensions. The World No. 1 player will start US Open play against Mackenzie McDonald, whom he’s 3-0 against all-time and should be an easy bet on the moneyline at legal tennis betting sites.
