Jannik Sinner: World Anti-Doping Agency appeals after world No 1 cleared in steroid case | Tennis News

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed against the decision to clear Jannik Sinner after he twice tested positive for a banned substance.

Sinner was twice a Grand Slam champion in 2024 and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has now appealed its case against him for two violations of the use of steroid clostebol.

Sinner, who is currently playing in the China Open in Beijing had been cleared of two instances of testing positive for the banned substance.

In a statement, WADA said: “It is WADA’s view that the finding of “no fault or negligence” was not correct under the applicable rules.

“WADA is seeking a period of ineligibility of between one and two years. WADA is not seeking a disqualification of any results, save that which has already been imposed by the tribunal of first instance.”
