Jannik SinnerThe settlement with WADA in the World Anti-Doping Agency shocked the tennis world. The Italian accepted a three-month ban that conveniently allowed him not to miss any profession. He is eligible to return on May 4.
The solution to the case disappointed some. Three-time Major Champion Stan Wawrinka was one of the first people to have on social media about sinner solutions.

I don’t believe in a clean exercise anymore…

Former world No. 12 and current Madrid Championship director Feliciano Lopez took over Sinner, saying: “It’s obvious that he didn’t do anything to improve his performance. So , He took full responsibility for other people’s mistakes and was suspended for three months as a result. Will longer suspension make the sport cleaner? I don’t think so.
I’m Stan. It was obvious that he did nothing to improve his performance. Will longer suspension make the movement cleaner? I don’t think so.

WADA formally withdrew its appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sports. They are seeking a 1-2 year ban for sinners but choose to settle for three months. The hearing is scheduled to begin on April 16, which will put sinners in danger of summer grand slams if he is forbidden to use the same time.
“It seems a little handy,” Tim Henman said on Sky Sports.
Yevgeny Kafelnikov, who always speaks out, suggests players refuse to compete with Sinner when they come back. “After the latest developments, I will do the following (assuming I’m still playing). Every time I attract sinners in a game, I won’t play, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the first round or the final. But I’m afraid no one will do the same Something about it.”

Nick Kyrgios has been firmly opposed to sinners since the beginning of this controversy, calling it a bad day for tennis:
So, Wada comes out and says it will be a 1-2 year ban. Obviously, the sinner team has done everything they can to continue the 3-month ban without losing titles or losing bonuses. Is it guilty? A sad day for tennis. Fairness in tennis does not exist.
