, I came across articles where Djokovic is speaking out against the suspension of Jannik Sinner.
Djokovic expressed his frustration and disappointment with the three-month suspension handed to Sinner, who tested positive for clostebol in a March doping control ¹. Despite accepting the ban, Sinner will still be able to compete in Grand Slam tournaments and retain his world number one ranking.
Djokovic believes the system is unfair and favors top players with better legal representation. He pointed out inconsistencies in the handling of Sinner’s case compared to other players like Simona Halep and Tara Moore, who received harsher penalties for doping violations ².
The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), co-founded by Djokovic, also criticized the decision, calling it “unacceptable bias” and demanding changes to the current system. Djokovic’s stance has resonated with many players who feel that the anti-doping regulations need to be more transparent and fair.
