Rehabilitation physician Mikhail Kasatkin called the Italian tennis player’s arguments “nonsense” on . Jannik the fisherman in the case of doping.
Earlier, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced that world number one Sinner had tested positive for doping twice in March. The athlete avoided disqualification because he proved that the banned substance, clostebol, had entered his system accidentally. Sinner was stripped of ranking points and prize money earned at the tournament, where he tested positive for doping.
Sinner said the substance entered his body through “contamination” by a member of his team who applied an over-the-counter spray containing clostebol to his skin to treat a minor injury. The team member applied the spray between March 5 and 13, a period during which the tennis player received daily massages, leading to “contamination” that Sinner was unaware of.
“Now I will say this incorrectly from the point of view of the medical community, but it makes no sense. The access of any substance that will be applied to the superficial tissues of the body ends after 24 hours, this is the maximum. But in reality – in 12 hours. “No ointment applied to the wound would technically penetrate the bloodstream,” Kasatkin said in the program “Loud!” on .
Sinner’s opponent in the fourth round of the US Open will be American Tommy Paul. The US Open ends on September 8.
