In a plot twist worthy of a tennis drama, the World Anti-Doping Agency is appealing Jannik Sinner's recent clear-out, claiming no fault for his positive test for Clostebol just doesn't serve justice—just in time for the China Open!

The World Anti-Doping Agency is not letting Sinner serve a full ace after an independent tribunal found him innocent of wrongdoing following his positive test for Clostebol—a banned anabolic steroid. WADA is appealing the decision, arguing it was a faulty call not to suspend the Italian sensation, who incidentally cut ties with the physiotherapist responsible for the drug contamination, leaving his fans wondering if this is a case of ‘love means nothing’ or just bad luck on the court.

On March 2024, Sinner's seemingly flawless game hit a snag when he tested positive for Clostebol, an anabolic steroid. While most players would furiously deny any wrongdoing, Sinner took a refreshingly different route: he claimed that the substance crept into his system through inadvertent contamination during treatment for a finger cut provided by his physiotherapist. Yes, you read that right; a sprained finger among the pros somehow led to an international doping controversy. However, despite an independent tribunal finding Sinner was not at fault for the positive tests and allowing him to avoid a suspension, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is appealing this decision and seeking a suspension of one to two years.
