Athletistic/Tennis. TV commentator Dmitry Guberniev commented on the doping scandal surrounding world number one Jannik Sinner, drawing parallels with similar situations among Russian athletes.

“Let’s take the case of Jannik Sinner. He committed a serious offence, but his team was able to provide such a degree of protection that one can only envy them. In this context, it is difficult to understand the connection with the situation of Kamila Valieva. We do not learn from our own mistakes or those of others. The problem here is the work of the teams.

“Sinner’s team presented a convincing case, while Maria Sharapova’s team, which found itself in a similar situation, acted extremely unprofessionally, which led to many problems. We need to learn from smart and experienced people, but we continue to walk on the same footing,” Guberniev wrote in his column for Soviet Sport.
