The Tiem final will haunt him for the rest of his life

That final was so low quality, both didn't seem like they wanted it

He took the Olympic L hard and has been up and down since then…I also it’s taking him time to adjust to the courts being sped up

Sinner racking up wins before he has to potentially sit down for a year or two

What an end to the season for Sinner

 

[Mazino]

All this headway Sinner has made is tainted IMO

He really shouldn't be playing right now, not a good look for the tour for this dude to be out here winning when he failed doping tests regardless of his culpability.

Depending on the WADA ruling next year you may get your wish

Yeah, issue I have is that all these titles shouldn't be in his trophy cabinet if he got treated like everyone else.

Who is 'everyone else'?

ITIA been finding several people with 'no fault or negligence' of doping this year besides Sinner...

Sinner only one getting that WADA pressure.

I think its warranted all these players sit down for 2 years with no chance at appeal

There's outrage because people think Sinner is getting preferential treatment but this is how it should be instead of instant bans with no appeals. If it takes this to change the process, so be it and people need to get over it instead of clinging to past, terrible precedence. Just because other players got fukked over doesn't mean it was right.

How about you tell me out of all those cases who got thier positive doping tests essentially sealed allowing them to compete for 6 months with no repercussions?

Also 'no fault no negligence' almost always results in a provisional ban first and then their ban gets reduced on appeal, you don't get to to compete with no issue. Never, except here. Cilic, Halep, Jarry, Tara Moore, Haddid Maia etc the list goes on


If you can't see the utter bullshyt they pulled for Sinner then you can't be looking at it objectively at all.

He's getting pressure for a reason

How about you tell me out of all those cases who got thier positive doping tests essentially sealed allowing them to compete for 6 months with no repercussions?

Also 'no fault no negligence' almost always results in a provisional ban first and then their ban gets reduced on appeal, not being able to compete with no issue

If you can't see the utter bullshyt they pulled for Sinner then you can't be looking at it objectively at all.

In accordance with TADP Articles 9.1 and 10.1.2, Bortolotti’s results, prize money and ranking points from the Lisbon Challenger have been disqualified; however, as the player bore No Fault or Negligence, no subsequent results of the player will be disqualified.

Accordingly, no period of ineligibility was imposed on either player, and the provisional suspensions imposed on each player under the TADP have been immediately lifted - although Gatica remains suspended from tennis due to separate Tennis Anti-Corruption Program offenses.

Nikola Bartunkova accepts ITIA doping ban but can return to tennis

Nikola Bartunkova, a promising 18-year-old tennis player from the Czech Republic, has accepted a six-month suspension from the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA). Bartunkova was provisionally suspended in May after testing positive for trimetazidine, a drug normally used as heart...

This is your primary issue:

Sinner twice tested positive for clostebol, a performance-enhancing anabolic steroid, in March this year. Both positive tests carried a provisional suspension, but Sinner successfully appealed those suspensions on both occasions. Under ITIA protocol, he was therefore both allowed to play and to have the positive tests kept private. Bartunkova, who did not appeal her provisional suspension, had her positive test publicized, also in accordance with ITIA protocol.

Whoever this woman is, had she appealed and won would have gotten the 'sinner' treatment.

Even if the WADA appeal is granted and Sinner sits for 2 years, all his results/winnings stay with him.

I'm trying to see the bullshyt the ITIA pulled for Sinner and not other players...

I had no doubt the wins would stay with him, like I said the shyt is tainted regardless

 

[BlackAchilles]

IMO someone winning Majors (especially hard court) with Sinner suspended after WADA forced the issue would have way more of an asterisk than any of Sinner's recent wins
