Jannik Sinner parts ways with trainer and physiotherapist after doping controversy
Jannik Sinner splits with trainer Umberto Ferrara and physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi. He was caught up in a doping controversy after testing positive twice for the banned anabolic steroid Clostebol.
As a result of the latest doping scandal, Jannik Sinner has severed his relationship with his trainer Umberto Ferrara and his physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi. In spite of the fact that it is likely to be difficult for him to be separated from the two most important members of his squad, it has come to light that during the recent doping scandal, these two individuals were the ones who were being scrutinized. Sinner got caught in a controversy as a result of the latest doping scandal, which came after he celebrated his recent victory at the Cincinnati Masters, which brought him a high. Despite the fact that he has been given a clean bill of health by the authorities, he has been being subjected to a significant amount of criticism from the tennis community as well as the fans.
The results of the backlash are obvious on Sinner, as evidenced by the removal of Ferrara and Naldi from their positions. As the highly anticipated United States Open draws near, the Italian tennis player is searching for a way to escape the controversy and attend the Grand Slam tournament in a more positive frame of mind. After testing positive for the illegal anabolic steroid Clostebol on two separate occasions, the individual who has the highest ranking in the men’s singles tennis competition has become the subject of a doping scandal. There were a variety of responses from members of the tennis world in response to the fact that Sinner was exonerated by an impartial tribunal and did not get a punishment despite the positive tests.
Sinner dismisses the members of his squad.
In March, while competing in the Indian Wells event, Sinner tested positive for the presence of Clostebol. The drug is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid that is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Sinner’s positive test was followed by another positive out-of-competition sample eight days later. He was provisionally suspended but successfully appealed, allowing him to continue participating on tour.
Sinner’s doping controversy
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) conducted an inquiry and held a hearing on August 15. Sinner explained that the positive test results were due to a member of his support team using an over-the-counter spray containing Clostebol to treat a tiny cut. The team member then provided Sinner massages, unwittingly transferring the chemical through skin contact.
The authority ruled that the player bore no guilt or carelessness. However, the incident could have harmed the trust within his squad, which eventually forced Sinner to make difficult changes to his coaching team, immediately ahead of the US Open.
