Jannik Sinner, the world's top-ranked tennis player, is under scrutiny after reportedly practicing in Doha, Qatar, despite a three-month doping ban that prohibits him from training and competing.

Jannik Sinner, the world’s No. 1 male tennis player, has accepted a three-month ban from the sport following an anti-doping rule violation. Australian Open champion Sinner, 23, received a sanction in August but was found by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to bear “no fault or negligence” after twice testing positive for clostebol — a banned anabolic steroid — at the Indian Wells Masters 1000 tournament in March.

The timing means the 23-year-old Italian won't miss any Grand Slam tournaments. The French Open, the season's next major, starts May 25.

Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban after WADA concluded the Italian did not intend to cheat. Sinner's innocence appears less important than the process.

Less than a month after winning his second consecutive Australian Open, Jannik Sinner will accept an immediate three-month ban from tennis.

It was announced on Saturday that Sinner will serve an immediate suspension after a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), in a decision described ‘dodgy as’ and ‘too convenient’ by Australian star Nick Kyrgios and former British No.1 Tim Henman respectively.

Novak Djokovic says a majority of tennis players have lost faith in the anti-doping authorities following Jannik Sinner’s three-month ban, and there’s a widespread feeling that “favoritism” is being shown to the sport’s biggest stars.

Former Wimbledon winner Marion Bartoli has expressed her annoyance at the fact that Jannik Sinner’s doping ban will not cause him to miss any Grand Slam tournaments. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced last week that Sinner had been suspended from tennis for three months for failing two doping tests in March 2024.

The lawyer representing world number one Jannik Sinner has spoken out against claims by Novak Djokovic that the Italian had been treated with favouritism during his doping case, which was settled earlier this month - with the 23-year-old accepting a three-month suspension that will see him avoid missing a single Grand Slam.
