Hear more about Rosengren’s analysis in the player above.
65-year-old Rosengren began his time on the tour as coach in 1988 and has trained lots of star players and was also the Swedish Davis Cup captain for five years. Nowadays he is a pensioner and expert commentator on TV4 Play.
He is upset by the short suspensions where the anti -doping organization Wada took Sinner to the CAS arbitration court which would come with a judgment in April. This weekend, however, WADA announced that it was agreed on three months of suspension after a negotiation.
Sinner can thus be back to the next Grand Slam, French Open, after winning the first sludge of the year, the Australian Open.
– Wada completely does away with Sinner three months. What is it? Who is saying three months? Either you are doped or you are not, but you are still responsible for everyone you employ. You can’t blame anyone else, Rosengren states for SVT Sport.
“Stinks long road”
-It stinks a long way when favoring a world set with a lot of money that can sit down with Wada and negotiate a suspension between two Grand Slam tournaments. It is worthless for Sinner as well. Now if ever he is suspected by all his colleagues.
A parallel case for Sinner is the Italian compatriot Stefano Bataglino, ranked 760 at its best, which was suspended for doping for four years between 2023 and 2027 – after obtaining a massage with an ointment containing the prohibited substance Clostebol.
– It says everything about the favor of famous rich athletes and that they can get away, says Rosengren.
Wada feels satisfied with the outcome.
– Wada has also received messages from some who believe the penalty was too harsh. Some say this is unfair to the athlete, and others say it is not enough. Then it is perhaps an indication that although it will not be popular with everyone, it was the right assessment, says Ross Wenzel, legal advisor at Wada, to the BBC.
