Nick Kyrgios slams Jannik Sinner drama as World No.1 avoids doping ban | #yahoonewsaustralia

Sinner, who is ranked World No. 1, faced scrutiny after revealing that the positive tests were due to “inadvertent contamination of Clostebol” from his physiotherapy treatment.

Although less than “one billionth of a gram” was detected, an independent tribunal ruled that the amount was insufficient to justify a suspension.

However, Kyrgios said on X, “Ridiculous - whether it was an accident or planned. You get tested twice with a banned substance…you should be gone for 2 years. Your performance was enhanced.”

When a follower defended Sinner, Kyrgios responded, “Accidental? You truly believe that the physio rubbed physio cream onto a cut that made him fail 2 anabolic steroid tests. Cmon potato.”

As a result of the findings, Sinner has been stripped of over A$482,000 in prize money and 400 ranking points earned at the Masters tournament in Indian Wells.

Tested positive 2 because when you take a test and you test positive, you immediately take another one to make sure it’s not a false positive

[BoomerBaskins]

Nick should focus on actually playing tennis….😂😂😂

[MoCello]

Stupid Kyrgios… don’t know what he’s talking about without the facts and details

[keyduh]

Did they test his physio right away to confirm if he really had that substance in him in the first place?

[TheZare]

I remember similar situation with Victor Troicki, and he had to be suspended for 2 years..

[milandamjanovic]

Sinner has been done a disservice. In a few years he will have lots of plasters and bandages

[milosminic]

Half of the world's doping cases with clostebol come from Italy (mostly justified by the same/similar excuse about the wound healing cream that Janik is exposed to). It is one of the last countries in the world where clostebol is still sold. In Indian Wells, he failed a doping test and was allowed to continue competing. He should be suspended for at least two years and everything he won in 2024 should be taken away.

He tested positive twice but still allowed to compete 🤮

[ibpnofr]

I completely agree with Kyrgios. He is the only one with the guts to tell the truth.

[Saketsinha]

Now since they cant compete with novak even at this stage, Tennis body shamelessly protecting sinner (Double drug abuse ) even at the cost of their own respect

[karma_kar]

There is a certain spaniard clay court bully that has done worse than this hundreds of times. But nobody bats an eye.

[isabeljalina]

2x tested positive, ultimately should be Suspended

[eugenos]

1) two of three doctor are from wada and all of three said that is plausible the reason because of small qty found it, qty not able to increase performance
2) doping with clostebol is dumb and I'm pretty sure all athletes knows that
3) from now on, sinner will not have excuses
4) he has to fire someone in the staff
5) it's always the same, he didn't became a hulk

[nikolamicunovic]

Kyrgios rules!

"not intentionally" ?!?
Wake up stupid world!!!!

*Sinner need to be banned*

[KathernMussasa]

Possiamo concordare sul fatto che l'età adulta sarebbe più facile se fosse accompagnata da un manuale e da cioccolata gratis🔥

[petarswift]

I know a lot of players who lost their career because of this.

[wnzkcmm]

The effect of action is much higher than the detected value

[danielsmith]

A DRUG CHEAT AND STILL # 1 PLAYER. WHAT A JOKE!🤮

[mikiafu]

What Kyrgios said in X is irrelevant! There are due process with independent experts that know who the athlete under investigation is for a reason.

[CH-ypby]

Why would anyone care about what he thinks? He is only a tennis player not a lawyer. He is not rightly informed to be making comments on such matters.
