Why tennis star Jannik Sinner tested positive for steroids twice but faces no suspension

Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner tested positive for a banned steroid in March 2023 but will not face suspension. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) determined that the violation was unintentional, caused by contamination from a support team member’s use of a spray. Sinner’s appeal led to a “No Fault or Negligence” ruling, allowing him to continue competing.
