Sinner And Swiatek Doping Cases Horrible For Tennis, Says Kyrgios

By IANS News December 28, 2024 • 21:02 PM View: 593

International Tennis Integrity Agency: Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios lashed out at tennis authorities over their handling of the high-profile doping cases involving Grand Slam champions Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek. Labelling the situation "disgusting," the Australian star criticised the state of integrity in the sport, calling it “a horrible look” for tennis.

Kyrgios’ comments come as the tennis world grapples with controversies surrounding two former world number ones. Italian Jannik Sinner, the reigning men’s world number one, tested positive for clostebol, an anabolic steroid, twice in March.

Although the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) cleared him of wrongdoing, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed the decision, bringing the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
