Jannik Sinner's doping controversy

Sinner, the World No. 1 tennis player, parted ways with his fitness coach Umberto Ferrara and his physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi ahead of the tournament following a doping saga.

One day after winning the Cincinnati Open, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITA) announced that Sinner twice tested positive for Clostebol, an anabolic steroid banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, in a test at the BNP Paribas Open on March 10 and an out-of-competition test conducted March 18. Sinner claimed that a support team member regularly applied an over-the-counter spray containing Clostebol to treat their own wound before giving Sinner daily massages and sports therapy, "resulting in unknowing transdermal contamination. "

Following an investigation, the ITA accepted Sinner's explanation and determined that the "violation was not intentional."
