Mumbai, February 16: Top-ranked Jannik Sinner accepting a three-month doping ban deal was slammed by his fellow tennis professionals on Saturday. Sinner and the World Anti-Doping Agency settled on the suspension that means he can play again from May 5, will not lose his No. 1 ranking, will not miss any Grand Slams, and will not lose titles or prize money he earned after testing positive for a banned anabolic steroid last March.

The Professional Tennis Players Association, founded by Novak Djokovic and Vasek Pospisil, also weighed in on X, posting a statement criticizing the parties involved in the decision-making process: The ATP, WTA, Grand Slams, WADA and International Tennis Integrity Agency. Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka wrote on X.

So you were innocent and we were getting fed that you were innocent but now you are suspended from playing the sport? Make it make sense. I슬롯사이트ve got multiple players in my DM슬롯사이트s on how putrid this is 😂 even Grand slam champions. Cooked 🧢

World No. 8 Daniil Medvedev, speaking after losing in the Open 13 semifinals in Marseille, said, 슬롯사이트I hope everyone can discuss with WADA and defend themselves like Jannik Sinner from now on.슬롯사이트�
Former British No. 1 Tim Henman told Sky Sport, "When I read the statement this morning it just seems a little bit too convenient.
슬롯사이트Obviously having just won the Australian Open, to miss three months of the tour and therefore to be eligible to play at Roland Garros, the timing couldn't have been any better for Sinner, but I still think it leaves a pretty sour taste for the sport.슬롯사이트� Amanda Anisimova Beats Jelena Ostapenko in Qatar Open 2025 Final for Her Biggest Title.
슬롯사이트The system' is not a system. It's a club. Supposed case-by-case discretion is, in fact, merely cover for tailored deals, unfair treatment, and inconsistent rulings. It's not just the different results for different players. It's the lack of transparency. The lack of process. The lack of consistency. The lack of credibility in the alphabet soup of agencies charged with regulating our sports and athletes,슬롯사이트� the PTPA wrote.
It accused the agencies of unacceptable bias 슬롯사이트for all athletes and shows a deep disrespect for every sport and its fans. It's time for change.슬롯사이트�
