Sinner tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid during the 2024 Indian Wells Tournament. He tested positive for a substance called Clostebol, which is notably banned in tennis, and he was first popped for the steroid during Indian Wells, and then again eight days later in an out-of-competition sample.

The world No.1 has been scathingly criticised before his men's singles final at Wimbledon against Carlos Alcaraz.

WADA accepted Sinner’s explanation that he was accidentally contaminated by a massage from his physiotherapist, who used a spray containing the banned substance to treat a finger cut. They ruled that Sinner ‘did not intend to cheat’ but insisted that he was responsible for his team’s negligence, which ultimately saw him punished.

Jannik Sinner is into the Wimbledon final for the first time in his career. On Sunday (July 13), he will be up against his arch-rival Carlos Alcaraz, who he will be locking horns with, for the third time this season and the second time in a Grand Slam final.
