Last Saturday, it was announced that the world's best player, Jannik Sinner, had negotiated a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) over offences committed last March, and would be banned for just three months.

Tennis faces a new crisis of perception despite following its own rules on integrity. The two-tiered resentment is not going to fade away.

Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban from tennis to settle a case which has lingered over the sport for months after he twice tested positive for a banned substance, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced on Saturday.

Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban after WADA concluded the Italian did not intend to cheat. Sinner's innocence appears less important than the process.

The men's world No. 1 will miss several tournaments, but no Grand Slams. Here's what to know about the doping proceedings against him.

The timing means the 23-year-old Italian won't miss any Grand Slam tournaments. The French Open, the season's next major, starts May 25.

Jannik Sinner accepting an immediate three-month ban after reaching a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is not unique to the case of the men's world number one, WADA's chief counsel said.

Jannik Sinner’s three-month doping ban isn’t sitting right with some in the tennis world. Australian star Nick Kyrgios ripped the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), claiming Sinner got off easy with the monthslong suspension over his two positive drug tests.

Eight-time Grand Slam champion Jimmy Connors has candidly weighed in on Jannik Sinner being banned from tennis for failing doping tests. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced in August that Sinner was free to play as he bore “no fault or negligence” after testing positive for the anabolic steroid clostebol twice in March.
