Filippo Volandri believes a potential ban on Jannik Sinner would be ‘the greatest injustice in history’
Italian Davis Cup captain Filippo Volandri has spoken out in defense of Jannik Sinner regarding his doping case. Volandri called the possibility of a suspension for Sinner “the greatest injustice in history.” The World No. 1 tested positive for the banned substance clostebol in March, with the news made public in August.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) ruled that Sinner bore “no fault or negligence” and did not suspend him. However, they did strip him of his Indian Wells ranking points. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has since appealed this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). If WADA’s appeal succeeds, Sinner could face a suspension of up to two years, with a decision expected early next year.
