The Anti-Doping body is seeking that the player should be banned for a period between one to two years. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt is WADA\u2019s view that the finding of \u201cno fault or negligence\u201d was not correct under the applicable rules. WADA is seeking a period of ineligibility of between one and two years. WADA is not seeking a disqualification of any results, save that which has already been imposed by the tribunal of first instance. World number one ranked men\u2019s singles star Janik Sinner has been found in breach of two Anti-Doping Rule Violations under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP), having twice tested positive for the prohibited substance clostebol,\u201d read the statement by WADA. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
On March 10, during the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, a test conducted in the competition revealed the presence of clostebol, an illegal anabolic steroid that is listed as a non-specified drug on the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) prohibited list. This was an adverse analytical finding (AAF). <\/p>\r\n\r\n
On March 18, an additional test also detected clostebol metabolite. If a player is found guilty of such offenses, the standard punishment is four years of ineligibility. However the player avoided suspension following appeals to an independent tribunal chair. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe player has the right to apply to an independent tribunal chair appointed by Sport Resolutions to have that provisional suspension lifted.\u202fAs such, after each positive test, a provisional suspension was applied. On both occasions, Sinner successfully appealed the provisional suspension and so has been able to continue playing,\u201d read a statement by the International Tennis Integrity Agency. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
According to Sinner, the substance entered his system after coming in contact with a support staff member who had been applying an \u2018over the counter spray\u2019 which contained slight levels of clostebol and repeated massaged by the said support staff member resulted in contamination. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
