Doping scandal made Sinner stronger

In 2025, Jannik Sinner served a three-month suspension after testing positive for a banned steroid.
-
Jannik Sinner said on Jan 16 that his three-month doping ban last season made him stronger as a person and more relaxed on court, as he prepares to defend his Australian Open title.
The 24-year-old Italian arrived at Melbourne Park in 2025 under intense pressure, not knowing his fate after a drug scandal.
He managed to put aside the noise and win the title but his career was put on hold afterwards, as he served the three-month suspension for twice testing positive for a banned anabolic steroid in 2024.
Sinner always maintained the product entered his system unintentionally through a massage from his physiotherapist, who had used a spray containing it to treat a cut.
While the World Anti-Doping Agency said the player did not intend to cheat, it ordered him to serve the ban as he was responsible for the actions of his entourage.
