The last grand slam tournament of the year, the US Open, is approaching, but the tennis world is anything but harmonious.
Last week came the news that world number one Jannik Sinner tested positive for the banned steroid klostebol on two occasions in March. The 23-year-old’s excuse was that he ingested it during a massage, and that it was a mistake by a person in his team.
Strong reactions from players
An apology that was accepted, and Sinner thus escaped suspension.
It drew strong reactions from several other players on the tour, including the outspoken Nick Kyrgios and Denis Shapovalov.
“Players get frustrated”
Now the world number two Novak Djokovic has also spoken out, and directs great criticism against the rules regarding doping in tennis.
– I understand that several players get frustrated, because there is no continuity, says the Serb.
Djokovic also hopes that this particular case can lead to change higher up.
– Hopefully the governing bodies in our sport learn something from this case, and have a better strategy in the future.
