Rafael Nadal has told a Spanish television show that he doesn’t think Jannik Sinner intended to use a banned substance and that the current No. 1-ranked man didn’t receive preferential treatment when he was cleared of doping after testing positive twice in March for trace amounts of an anabolic steroid.
Jannik Sinner , of Italy, returns a shot to Tommy Paul , of the United States, during a fourth round match of the U.S. Open tennis championships, Monday, Sept. 2, 2024, in New York. NEW YORK — Rafael Nadal told a Spanish television show that he doesn’t think Jannik Sinner intended to use a banned substance and that the current No.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency said on Aug. 20 that it was determined the banned performance-enhancer entered Sinner’s system unintentionally through a massage from his physiotherapist, and that is why the player was not suspended.
Nadal, who sat out the U.S. Open, said: “I believe in someone’s good faith. I know Sinner; I don’t believe that Sinner wanted to dope.” “In the end, justice is justice, and I believe in justice,” Nadal said. “I believe in the bodies that have to make decisions and that they do it based on what they believe is right.”
