Nick Kyrgios has launched a brutal attack on Jannik Sinner after the Italian was banned for three months. Sinner has reached an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to serve a suspension after testing positive for a banned substance last year.
WADA had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after an independent panel concluded that Sinner bore no responsibility for twice testing positive for Clostebol, a type of steroid. The 23-year-old has always argued that he was inadvertently contaminated by his physio, a case WADA accepted.
Kyrgios wrote on Instagram: “To the future generation [of] tennis players – after today you can just ‘without knowing’.
“Test positive, play through all the investigation then settle on a convenient three-month ban, not get stripped of any money or titles and carry on.
“Sad day for me – someone who has played this sport since I was seven years old. Battled injury after injury and have given a s*** load to this sport. I pray that kids that play this sport do it the right way.”
