Jannik Sinner's three month ban has other Tennis players FURIOUS | Wide World of Sports

A sad day for tennis. That's the verdict of Nick Kyrgios taking aim at world number one Yannick Sinner who's been banned for three months for doping. Despite testing positive twice, Sinner was cleared of any wrongdoing leading to claims of double standards. The Melbourne Park King. It's back to back for Yannick Sinner. Brought back down to earth by a doping ban. There was a big talk that he was potentially going to be banned for a year. To see the only three-month ban has got a lot of people surprised. Yannick Sinner's ban reduced after a deal between WADA and the Italians team. It means he'll be back in time for Roland Garros in May and that's got plenty riled. Nick Kyrgios has been venting for months. The tennis integrity right now and everyone knows it but no one wants to speak about it. It's awful. And today that anger exploded launching a scathing attack on social media. Dodgy as he tweeted. Sad day for tennis. Fairness in tennis does not exist. Former Australian Open champ Stan Vovrenko was even blunter. I don't believe in a clean sport anymore. It just seems a little bit too convenient. It seems there's words like agreement. It almost seems like there's been a negotiation. Sinner immediately withdrew from the Qatar Open where he was already on the practice court. The Italian twice tested positive to Costa Bowl but claims it entered his system via a massage from his physio who just used a spray to treat a cut. I've always accepted that I'm responsible for my team and realised WADA's strict rules are important protection for the sport I love, Sinner said. On that basis I've accepted WADA's offer to resolve these proceedings on the basis of a three-month sanction. As for WADA officials say they accept Sinner didn't attempt to cheat and that there was no real performance enhancing benefit. Still many believe there's a double standard. Now retired former world number one Simona Halep copped a four-year ban. That's despite claiming she fell victim to a contaminated supplement. While Australia's Max Purcell is currently serving a voluntary provisional suspension after self-reporting accidental IV usage above the legal limit. Players that don't have the profile that Yannick Sinner aren't afforded the same opportunities to have their case heard, to have their case trialled. Sinner's future is a lot clearer now after what's been a murky saga. Clint Stanaway, Nine News.
