ROMA. After the triumph at the US Open comes the most awaited news for Jannik Sinner: Wada, theInternational Anti-Doping Agencydid not appeal against the ruling of the Itia (International Tennis Integrity Agency) which acquitted the tennis player from Pusteria for testing positive for Clostebol last March.
The Corriere della Sera reports the news.
Sinner is thus completely cleared of doping charges.
According to the reconstruction made by Itia, the drug in question, the Clostebolhad been used, in spray form, by his physiotherapist, to treat a cut on his finger. Subsequently, the physiotherapist performed a massage on Sinner, without wearing gloves, causing the drug to come into contact with a lesion on the tennis player’s skin.
Result: on the occasion of a doping control at the Masters 1000 of Indian Wells, an infinitesimal quantity of the metabolite had been found in the urine of the Alto Adige sample. From there the investigation by the International Tennis Integrity Agency had started, which clarified that there had been no malice.
Now the decision from Wada, which closes the case.
