The 2025 Australian Open champion, who twice tested positive for clostebol due to accidental contamination, will return in time for the French Open.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThis case had been hanging over me for nearly a year and the process still had a long time to run with a decision maybe only at the end of the year,\u201d Sinner was quoted by The Independent as saying. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI have always accepted that I am responsible for my team and realise WADA\u2019s strict rules are an important protection for the sport I love. On that basis, I have accepted WADA\u2019s offer to resolve these proceedings on the basis of a three-month sanction.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The men\u2019s world No. 1 twice tested positive for the banned substance clostebol last March but was initially cleared of wrongdoing by both the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) and an independent tribunal. Sinner successfully proved that he had been accidentally contaminated by a physiotherapist using an over-the-counter spray containing trace amounts of the substance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite being permitted to continue playing and even securing his maiden Grand Slam Australian Open in January 2024, WADA appealed the ITIA's ruling to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Rather than prolonging the legal battle, Sinner chose to settle and accept the reduced suspension.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
