[@broncoguy4862]

The fact that every player parses their words so carefully tells that nobody wants to say anything controversial right before the last Major of the year. There doesn't seem to by a unifying feeling behind Sinner, which is probably more the fault of how the situation was handled than his actual innocence or guilt. Tennis is not doing itself any favors at the moment with its wildly inconsistent application of its own rules...we saw it again in Winston-Salem with Michelson not getting defaulted after striking a fan with an angry ball.

[@mcash82]

I believe that in Jannik's case, the difference with others similar cases consist in the fact that his team was immediately able to give a satisfactory and proofed explanation. What has not been said is that after the first test the commitee answered back, if your justification is true in the second test we should expect this amount of substance left in your body. The number matched and that's the reason why they didn't further punished him, also the quantity, apparently, wouldn't improve the performance.

The most lucid and rational response was from Novak. Jannik, imo, was let down by two careless members of his team. The nub is, as Novak said, that the ability to have the means (money) to get the best representation counts. In the news now is the Mike Lynch case. He drowned in his yacht while celebrating the positive outcome of his 10 year battle in the US courts. This battle cost him $30m. He stated, before he died, that, had he not had these funds, he would not have had justice. He also said that this system of justice is unequal, that justice should not depend on money. But, unfortunately, it does, especially in the US, in the rule of law in general.

Sinner and the Failed Drug Test: 1) the substance is an off-the-counter spray readily available in the Italian market. His team should was careless not to have pre-checked the substance. 2) the quantity ingested was so negligible (a billionth gram) that it could not have enhanced performance. 3) Sinner was able to point to this product immediately, and investigators were able to ascertain the source; and further testing clarified that if the residue quantity matched, then that is ok. So, it was actually one failed test, not two. 4) It is doubtful whether the status or financial means of the player had anything to do with the outcome; because a 350th ranked player was also exonerated on the same product.

[@domkelly1972]

Officially , 2 failed drugs tests. The reason for the failure ,that has never been tested in a court of law, was accepted. The drug tested should be "zero". It should never , ever be in your test. Any amount more than "zero" is a failure. Drug cheats are extremely good at cheating the system. Zero tolerance is the only way forward. Cycling has never recovered from the drugs scandals and tennis is clearly trying to avoid that scandal but it will fall and all the players that spoke in this video clearly have something to hide. They don't talk for a reason ..what could that reason be ... Fear of ATP fines? Or do you think they have done something aswell that they would prefer to keep quiet.

Back in 1989, infamous Ben Johnson tested positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol and was stripped of his gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Of the eight athletes who competed in the 100m final - five of them subsequently failed drugs tests. On the other hand, American sprinter Carl Lewis- who “won” the event, had failed 3 drug tests in the months leading up to the Olympics but the USOC covered for him so he wouldn’t be banned. Today Ben Johnson coaches aspiring soccer stars at the Genova International Soccer School in Italy. He still burns with what he sees as the unfairness of his treatment by the IOC, making conspiratorial claims that he was sacrificed while others were “protected who were taking the same thing.”

It's clear that no one says I believe in him period. It's because they are not sure. In my case, I feel there are a lot of things that are very difficult of believing, one of the two guys in charge of Jannik physical preparation is an expert in pharmaceuticals, had already 15 years of experience in this field and also had a personal experience in a basketball team in Italy where they had a problem with the same substance "Clostebol"..... So the story of the cream and massage is not believable not from the possibility that the substance enter to the bloodstream this way, but from the point of view that these guys weren't aware of the composition of the cream.... So known in Italy and with a warning in the envelope... To conclude, two options : the entire team knew and worked with this substance and they played with the risk of being caught, because a little overdose and the controls detect the substance and they used it probably during a long time.. The other option is that Jannik didn't know what these guys are using to enhance his performance. It would be good to know if the entire team received a variable depending of the results of Jannik, if this assumption was true, we would have the reason why they used the substance without Jannik knowing...... The only thing clear here is that the procedures of Atp are everything but clear and transparents.

[@italnsd]

So, you built all this giant house of cards based on the premise that an error from the physio is not believable while a conscious decision to use a doping substance that they perfectly know is detectable in a quantity that provides zero performance enhancement is a much more believable option. In other words, for as hard as you try, you cannot think of a more logical explanation that Jannik (or his team, without his knowledge) decided to take take the 100% certain risk of destroying his career in exchange for absolutely no reward. Your hypothesis says that the risk of detection comes from an overdose. The highest amount detected in those two tests was 86 trillionths of a gram per milliliter, a quantity that generates a whopping 0% performance enhancement. And this was an "overdose". I really want to meet the genius who wrote such a devastating doping program. If he received any compensation, fixed or variable, for this then as next step he should seriously consider selling igloos to the nomadic populations of the Sahara desert.

[@zanido9073]

The pharma guy was aware that the spray had a banned substance. Him having it and giving it to the physio it was certainly negligent. The most likely scenario is that he picked up some crap from the pharmacy and thought that as long as he was careful with it it wouldn't be an issue, and then wasn't careful enough. Ie incompetence. Your absurd conspiracy theories are just that - absurd.

[@milanboyanich6327]

First I heard it was a billionth, now you saw 84 trillionth, next it will be 256 quadrillionth etc. The numbers are irrelevant, why, because theyvdon't determine the time of doping which would be the highest concentrating which eventually subdues. Clostebol is used for building muscle mass which increases performance. It's logical that a tennis player or any athelete would use that in spans between tournaments determining that there wouldn't be any left in the bloodstream at the time of the tournament incase they get tested and if it was, well the result would be in the soncalled trillionths you mention. Lets face the facts, Sinners appearance definitely isn't one of Arnold Swartsineiger in his hey day, so he needs the muscle to perform at the highest level.

[@romanbloch9629]

I don’t know the exact details of the cases of Halep, Sharapova, Cañas, Gasquet, Puerta, Brooksby, Ymer, Jarry, etc. I do know that they all got suspended or docked and Sinner barely got docked. I also know that Sinner is ranked number one and the others were not when this event happened for them. I also know that he had a very good explanation for his case. Henceforth, it’s not black and white. It’t something that needs clear protocol and all players need access to the same support systems to fight their cases.

[@lazios]

There is a (33-page) judgment formulated by 3 of the world's top experts regarding doping (2 among them didn't even know the player's name, it was anonymous) but I'm sure that not one of the people who are commenting have read it (and will never read it). It makes comparisons with other players (usually the Halep case) not saying the key differences: Sinner and his lawyers were able to prove immediately how the fact had happened and (another thing that people in bad faith don't say), the quantity traced was completely different, last but not least, in one case it was a direct (unintentional) contamination, in Sinner's case instead it was INDIRECT and unintentional. That's why he was found NOT GUILTY (NO FAULT and NO NEGLIGENCE). This is what the judgment says, the point is that you about the judgment DON'T GIVE A FUCK, you want the "blood", you want the guilty regardless of what the judges decided, because again, you don't care about his innocence or guilt; what you want is the conviction. I forgot: the judgment is online, it can be read by anyone (I know, who care, better to wrote some bullshit comment).

He mentioned in his autobiography that he actually took an undetectable drug in the middle and later stages of his career. It made him full of physical strength and explosive power in the game. Then Agassi's coach at that time is now Sinner's coach...Darren Cahill... so... And after Sinner hired Agassiz's former coach...

It's not up to a player or journalist to determine if someone is innocent or guilty.

No, it's up to the Italian ATP president.😅

But who the player is has a weight or impact on the handling. It's BS for them to say that the authority didn't know who it was, and it was only a number representing each sample/case. Don't treat us like we were two years old.

[@iamdalibor]

"It's not up to a player or journalist to determine if someone is innocent or guilty" Tell that to Novak who had "journalists" up his butt crack 24/7 portraying him as a bad guy constantly Those journalists sure knew who was guilty or innocent in Tennis lol We all know who out of the big 3 aye

[@rafatony2804]

Novak is perfect in his assessment of the circumstances of the case and its relationship to the treatment of all the players. His call for standardisation and equality in terms of legal formal and informal, procedures and practices applying to all players regardless of ranking or profile. Transparency, integrity and accountability are sadly lacking in this case. I believe it is a systemic issue rather than the fault of the player concerned with this particular case.

[@khaleon.w3916]

They forgot what they did Simona Halep. Now look at him getting away with it. Regardless of whose fault it was. The test still came back positive.

[@soblessed2176]

She took pills! He didn’t! His team sprayed crap on themselves and he ingested it! They knew better and that’s why they are TERMINATED!

Some guy got a 4-year ban for testing positive for the same drug. Whether it was intentional or not, it enhanced Sinner's performance.

@@oleandreasen one of the main reasons he was cleared was because the amount they found in his body wouldn’t be enough to enhance his performance but I guess that reading is not for everyone

When Novak was banned entering Australia, it wasnt based on medical test, they havent took rational decision based on some real evidence, but political and bureaucracy act.Healty guy, one of the best world athletes was considered high risk, who would be able to play 5 hours tennis match isnt healty.Here you have a test, medical, hemical, material proof the Sinner's body has been contaminated.Do you really believe his team on this level professional sport didnt know what they were doing. This cream had on the packaging a clear note "doping".So they dont know to read, not knowing what they were doing, and they are part of team of the world No1 tennis player.
