Was gonna say... Alcaraz who held the longest time spent on court at a tournament ever until Sadlad at AO this year, narrowly edging out Anderstork from Wimbers 2018, and the latter was buffed by hours of servebotting in fifth sets. As you say, we'll never know, but I'd say at the very least he's more sus than Sinner.He's probably juicing himself. But we will never know.
Djokovic did so before his Davis cup match against Norrie last November.Can he refuse?

How does a massage cause you to test positive for banned substances?
you can not accuse someone of doping without the evidence. But now we have the evidence of Sinner dopingHe's probably juicing himself. But we will never know.
Was it the "clear and the blue" that his massage therapist applied?
For those outside the US or too young to remember .... watch out for what the trainer is putting on you!
Did Bonds admit to using The Clear?
During grand jury testimony on December 4, 2003, Bonds said that he used a clear substance and a cream that he received from his personal strength trainer, Greg Anderson, who told him they were the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis.
We mustThe main thing here is he’s been cleared. That is enough for me and he did receive small punishment at Indian wells. I feel I want to give him the benefit of the doubt here.
we can not just ignore his 2 positive test. He was using it for recovery to have the advantage and now everyone knows thisSinner is found NOT AT FAULT
We ignore this
Very low levels of clostebol found. It is supposed to build muscle mass but he has no muscle mass.
His story could be true. But his reputation may be forever tarnished as a possible cheater.
Bad luck for the young Sinner.
For anyone who knows anything about steroid creams, they always provide a warning of not having any on your skin and letting there be time for the skin to absorb the substance before coming into contact with others as there has been incidences that show that cross contamination does occur if the substance is still on the persons body/hands.By over the counter healing cream containing coletebol and open wounds according to the story.
Sharapova was banned for years for less. Ymer was banned because he simply missed the test. But this dude gets away despite being positive twice lol. People just making excuses for this dopper.The main thing here is he’s been cleared. That is enough for me and he did receive small punishment at Indian wells.

Steroid cream DUHOoooohhhhh
Me having literally just tried to quit GPPD

Spicy stuff. Doubt this will be the end of this story at all. Like others have said I don’t understand how tf a massage could cause the ingestion of a banned substance… unless certain things happened![]()
Clostebol builds muscle mass.
This is very unfortunate, but reports suggest he is innocent.
Clostebol, as an anabolic steroid, offers several benefits that make it attractive to athletes looking to enhance their performance illegally. However, it's important to note that the use of such substances in sports is prohibited due to the unfair advantage they provide and the potential health risks. Here are some of the perceived benefits of clostebol in doping:
Despite these benefits, the use of clostebol in sports is illegal, and athletes caught using it face severe penalties, including suspensions and bans.
- Increased Muscle Mass: Clostebol promotes protein synthesis, leading to increased muscle mass and strength. This can be beneficial in sports where power and muscle size are crucial.
- Enhanced Recovery: Athletes using clostebol may experience faster recovery times after intense training or injury. The steroid's anabolic properties help in repairing muscle tissues more quickly, allowing for more frequent and intense training sessions.
- Reduced Fatigue: By improving muscle recovery and reducing muscle damage, clostebol can help athletes train harder and for longer periods without experiencing as much fatigue.
- Improved Endurance: Although primarily an anabolic steroid, clostebol can have some effects on endurance by increasing red blood cell production. More red blood cells mean better oxygen delivery to muscles, which can improve stamina.
- Lean Muscle Preservation: Clostebol can help athletes maintain lean muscle mass while cutting weight, which is particularly useful in sports with weight classes.
- Minimal Androgenic Effects: Compared to other anabolic steroids, clostebol has relatively mild androgenic effects, which means it carries a lower risk of side effects like hair loss, acne, and masculinization in women.
Is this related to his skipping the Olympics? That part is *highly* suspicious...
So now that Tennis needs Sinner we should just ignore his PED use? GTFO.We must
Tennis needs sinner. Those who don't want Sinner need to go away from tennis
It's difficult to believe that his team was not aware of those warnings on the label.It's a suspicious but believable story.
The main thing here is he’s been cleared. That is enough for me and he did receive small punishment at Indian wells. I feel I want to give him the benefit of the doubt here.
That is true. I must admit it isn’t a good look and I was shocked to see this to be honest. I guess we just never know.Sharapova was banned for years for less. Ymer was banned because he simply missed the test. But this dude gets away despite being positive twice lol. People just making excuses for this dopper.

This can literally lead to instances of a husband causing virilization/masculinity in their wife or effecting their children in the case of testosterone cream for example.
It's a suspicious but believable story.
It doesn’t look good. I didn’t expect this at all but the details are still a bit sketchy. I’m willing to still give him the benefit of doubt that this isn’t serious unless we got something more concrete. He had his prize money and points stripped from Indian wells though so not great.
What reputation ? Do you think he is a great player in the making? Don't be fooled by the media hyping.
True I guess maybe the punishment could have been worse. It does look like he’s got off lightly here considering 2 positive tests and also he been stripped points and money at Indian wells. I agree it doesn’t look good from sinner at all and I was surprised.Why do you think he has been cleared ? Think about it.
If the world number 1 who is a young player and has lot of sponsorships riding on him (Nike) is labeled a cheat then it affects Tennis and many people, maybe thats why he has been cleared ???
Clostebol is a performance enhancing drug.... let there be no doubt about it...... It is an anabolic steroid.
Is this related to his skipping the Olympics? That part is *highly* suspicious...
It's 100% why he skipped it
Someone messed up the glow period
Just revealed that Kalinskaya was the physiotherapist and the cream was passed not by hand.Masseur passed it onto Sinner and if Sinner gave a massage to Kalinskaya, should she be tested as well? Just asking the important questions
True. Therefore, why are they letting him off lightly then? As sharapova was a tennis star of the game but didn’t get off lightly. Is it because where she from or not? It just all very mysterious to me.Dude they got him red handed
They allowed him to use the cockamamie excuse, but they got him
They would not sanction a player of this caliber without being beyond sure about it
It Happens. Get rubbed down by too many blondes or kamala Harris and you test positive for stupidity. It’s been clinically proven in labs
True I guess maybe the punishment could have been worse. It does look like he’s got off lightly here considering 2 positive tests and also he been stripped points and money at Indian wells. I agree it doesn’t look good from sinner at all and I was surprised.

Not at fault for cheatingIf he was not at fault, as the investigation states, he should not be stripped of anything. That is ridiculous.

The problem with the 8 days apart is what the half life is of the compound, and what the levels of the compound were found in the body. If they were the same levels 8 days apart, HIGHLY suspicious. If it was lowered to a negligible degree, then that would make sense.Which is why they wen't with it.
I'm not convinced myself. Two positive tests 8 days apart and they hid this for almost 7 months and only revealed it now because of the point deduction and prize money being taken away go into effect and there would be no way to hide it then. Also as it's been pointed out that maybe this is why he skipped the Olympics because they have more strict drug testing and speaking of the testing, what testing happened at IW that caused this? Was it a urine test? Blood test? Can this so called hand cream be absorbed into the body in such a way it can be detected in those tests?
I have many questions.
Why the he11 you even mention Kamala Harris????
Sharapova is Russian, and the West simply likes to sanction Russians for doping.True. Therefore, why are they letting him off lightly then? As sharapova was a tennis star of the game but didn’t get off lightly. Is it because where she from or not? It just all very mysterious to me.
Are we buying this excuse? Seems like a lot of coincidences if it’s true but I don’t know anything about this. Curious if there are any people who know a lot about anti doping.
The Court agreed with Halep’s contention that her positive test was likely caused by contamination of a supplement she had been using.
They should ban him for 2-5 years but they don't wanna do that. If this was some lower ranked young player then I bet their head would have rolled by the guillotine .... In Sinner's case they've have cooked up some excuse to make it look like a mistake ? WTF, lol
Sharapova is Russian, and the West simply likes to sanction Russians for doping.
yes deemed too big to fail. same thing w Jordan and the gambling.Did not even consider that until now. That's a huge red flag now this story has come out and he DID get docked the points and prize money so y'know, It feels like he was guilty but they gave him the benefit of the doubt because his excuse made sense *cough* and he's a money-making draw to the sport *cough*
