The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has filed an appeal with the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the case of Jannik Sinner, declared not guilty or negligent by an independent tribunal of the International Agency for Integrity in Tennis ( ITIA) after testing positive twice for clostebol, and asks for a sanction of one to two years for number one in the world.
Through a statement issued this Saturday, the organization considers that that conclusion was not correct according to the applicable standards and, therefore, “requests a period of ineligibility of between one and two years.”
The AMA, on the other hand, notes that “does not seek the annulment of any resultexcept that which has already been imposed by the court of first instance”.
Since testing positive for the first time during a test carried out in Indian Wells, the Italian has played a total of nine tournaments, 10 if the current China Open in which he is participating is included. He has won four of them, including the US Openthe second Grand Slam of his career after having also previously won the Australian Open this year.
