WADA To Stay Open-minded And Welcome Advice, Says VP Yang Yang

By IANS News February 21, 2025 • 09:52 AM View: 599

VP Yang Yang: The settling of Jannik Sinner's doping case was "open and transparent" despite the public reaction, and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will stay open-minded and welcome public scrutiny, said its vice president Yang Yang.

Tennis men's world No.1 Sinner twice tested positive for anabolic clostebol in March last year, which he claimed entered his system after his masseur treated a cut on his finger with a product containing clostebol and gave Sinner full body massages.

After a review of the case, WADA agreed Sinner's explanation was scientifically plausible and well evidenced on the facts.
