The case of the world No. 1 in men's tennis is at the center of anti-doping protocols and reforms that could redefine its parameters.

For too long it seems WADA has cast out athletes, particularly those with little access to top legal teams like that on Sinner’s side

Jannik Sinner reluctantly agreed to a three-month suspension after “tricky” conversations with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The world No. 1, who lifted the Australian Open title last month, has been banned until May 4 after two positive drug tests in 2024.

The men's world No. 1 will miss several tournaments, but no Grand Slams. Here's what to know about the doping proceedings against him.

Jannik Sinner's case was "a million miles away from doping", says World Anti-Doping Agency general counsel Ross Wenzel.

Jannik Sinner received a 3-month ban after testing positive for a banned substance, with the Italian initially refusing to accept he would face a suspension.

Sinner asked: "Why would we do that if the first independent tribunal found it was no ban at all, why would I accept three months now?"
