Summary at a Glance

“Mr Sinner will serve his period of ineligibility from 9 February 2025 to 11:59 pm on 4 May 2025,” Wada said in a statement, which will make him eligible to return before the French Open.

Sinner, the men’s world No 1 who won the Australian Open last month, twice tested positive for the banned substance clostebol last March.

Sinner said in a statement: “This case had been hanging over me for nearly a year and the process still had a long time to run with a decision maybe only at the end of the year.

Wada accepted that Sinner “did not intend to cheat” or receive “any performance-enhancing benefit” and that he was inadvertently contaminated “without his knowledge as the result of negligence of members of his entourage”.

Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban for doping after reaching a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).
