Hello there!
I just read today that Jannik Sinner failed a doping test twice in
March, 2024. He got away with it with the following reasoning: They
claimed Jannik had a wound in his finger, and his physio put some stuff
into the wound to speed up the healing process.
Apparently this "stuff" contained some kind of forbidden substance.
Is this credible?
It's not that I care much. I know almost all of them use amphetamine or
its derivatives anyway. Plus many other advanced performance enhancing
drugs that cannot be detected in doping tests.

if he didn't do anything wrong why does he lose his IW money and points?
the whole thing stinks. no wonder he was "injured" at wimbledon - it would have been hugely embarrassing for the sport if he'd won. Kyrgios is not impressed.

Because he had the illegal substance in his system and thus his
performance was enhanced. Not fair he keeps points and $ while
illegally enhanced. They are saying it's not his fault so that's the
extent of the punishment.
I am not even questioning their determination but I am questioning the special treatment and process that were given to Sinner.But if I would question the determination, then it's ridiculous to think that he failed doping tests twice in one monthbecause his trainer had a wound in his finger and he was using some cream or spray for it.I can't even think how they invented or came up with this story.-- ---

It stinks when they cover it up because it has to do with the
number one player in the world.

No matter what, Sinner was treated very differently than all other
players that were found to have some traces of illegal substance
in their tests.
I don't think this matter is settled and closed now, I think there
will be huge consequences to come.
Other current players are asking questions via X, so who knows how this
will pan out...

I am not even questioning their determination but I am questioning the
special treatment and process that were given to Sinner.
If players want to get the same special treatment as Sinner then they
should get to no.1 and win a slam 1st no?
But if I would question the determination, then it's ridiculous to
think that he failed doping tests twice in one month because his
trainer had a wound in his finger and he was using some cream or
spray for it.
I can't even think how they invented or came up with this story.
It sounds sus, but could be true. We don't know all the details yet.

Dopers are ahead of the testers, takes them years to catch up and put

How was he treated the same when he was allowed to keep playing every tournament after two failed tests?

I heard that, but this wouldn't completely excuse him as dopers cycle
up and down so could have been cycling down when tested.
My gut feeling is he didn't intentionally dope, just based on his
character and the way he gets on well with everybody. He seems to have
a lot of integrity - eg he could have eliminated Novak from last WTF
by intentionally losing to him in round robin. He didn't do that and
Novak went on to win. Not many players would have done that. If he's
a doper hellbent on winning at all costs then surely he would have
thrown that match v Novak?
On the flipside we all know he has a physical weakness in long matches
so has a motive to dope.
motivation. In former years, Sampras, as well.

I don't know the exact rules, and what is consequence of a second failed test, but in this case, second test was one week after the first one, I assume they're considered as a single case, they're testing same situation and verifying it?
It's not like he failed at Indian Wells and then at Cincinnati. So that's my take.
Secondly, you know the values can differ. You can have alcohol in your blood and be totally drunk and also you can eat a chocolate with rum and it will show the same thing ie you have alcohol.
If his levels are negligible and his explanation makes sense, and if his trainer was indeed using the cream/spray, what would you do?
Ban him for life?
A year?
I feel removing his money and pts for that tournament is appropriate action, nothing else.

friendly to low attention span viewers are going to gain in popularity faster.
I don't think it's the scoring system.
If it was you could say that about chess or American football or baseball too. I have no idea how do the last two go.
If you find the sport interesting you learn the scoring system.
Some people simply don't like and don't enjoy racquet sports or individual sports so they have 0 interest in
tennis or its variants.
But in this thread I was hoping to compare pickleball to touch tennis.
It's such a different vibe.

Clostebol acetate ointment has ophthalmological and dermatological
use. In some countries, such as Italy, it is available without a
prescription as a topical cream or spray for the treatment of skin
wounds such as abrasions, erosions, fissures and burns. In Italy, it
is sold as a spray and cream, with the brand name Trofodermin,
containing a combination of clostebol acetate and neomycin.
How hard is it to avoid using products like this that have the potential
for false positives though? I would think that would be a paramount
concern for his team! And Sinner is no pauper...

People make mistakes, they go to drugstore in their country, buy
creams, sprays, vitamins etc and board the plane.
They're not thinking about doping tests since they're not coping.
Some people do micro dosing, miscalculate, and get caught. Which one is Sinner? The river knows.
Sinner lives up to his name at last!

They really shouldn't be getting caught. There's a doping warning on the
