Former world number one Rafael Nadal commented on the Italian doping case Jannik the Fisherman.
Last week, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) reported that Sinner had two positive doping tests in March. The athlete avoided disqualification because he proved that the banned substance, clostebol, had entered his system by accident. A number of players have publicly criticized the ITIA for its inconsistency in handling similar cases.
— I have one positive or negative quality – I believe in people’s honesty. I know Sinner and I don’t think he wanted to dope. Justice is justice. We have to accept his decision, whether we like it or not. I trust the authorities who make such decisions. If no sanctions were imposed on him, it means that the judge clearly saw that Sinner did not dope. I don’t think he was exonerated just because he is world number one. Everyone’s opinion deserves respect, and this is my opinion, “Nadal is quoted in The Tennis Letter.
Sinner’s opponent in the fourth round of the US Open will be American Tommy Paul. In the quarterfinals, he could face Russian Daniil Medvedev. The US Open ends on September 8.
