Posing a question that's come up a few times now. And i'm being objective with the next few statements here, just stating the facts of what happened.

Sinner tested positive to a banned substance not once but multiple times.
The investigation was kept under wraps for many months. Very different to what happened in many other cases like Halep, like Errani etc.
Sinner was allowed to play during the investigations and was even used as promotion for countless tournaments including slams to sell tickets.
He gets cleared for the multiple positive doping tests 24-48 hours hours after winning a Masters 1000 at which point he is the one who gets to announce it to the public.
Jannik now goes into a slam with all this cloud over him and as the top seed, could very well win the title despite all this having happened.

Could this impact the public opinion of men's tennis? Having the #1 player in the world, possibly winning a slam after multiple failed doping tests and a hushed down investigation process which then allowed Sinner to be the one to announce it to the public?

Thoughts?
 
For tennis fans, yes, it’s scandalous. For the average viewers, they probably have no idea about what’s going on, even if they read vaguely about it somewhere. Now the crucial point will be the tv commentators. Will they receive instructions not to mention this scandal from ATP? Otherwise the average Joe will never be aware.

Seems judging by the press conference they are going to try to ignore it and hope it doesn't come up. Can only imagine that the commentators and broadcasters will be warned not to mention it since Sinner's reason was excused.

So because a thread exists on a player we are bound to only post on that thread? I'll be sure to report every thread about Djokovic and make sure it's devoted to the designated Djokovic thread :X3: :laughing::D

I'm sure you've already reported this thread and it'll be gone soon. Knew I had you on block for a reason, shouldn't have clicked show ignored content.

I did not report this and never did report any thread so don’t worry. If you have me on ignore leave me on ignore no need to announce that or mention it nobody cares anyways. Can understand that you got tired being destroyed in debate :)

Don't need to wait till he wins USO. ATP image is already ruined once the doping news came out. Many other players are not happy with the way they handled Sinner's case.

Yep, them knowing he was under investigation for multiple failed doping tests and allowing tournaments to promote him and let him play with no announcement to the public... Shady.

Halep's test was announced to the public within 2 months, and she didn't get to tell. Sinner's was under wraps for over 5 months and he was the one to announce it to the public...

Destroyed in debate? You wish. I just call out your disgusting double standards. I see 5+ Sinner threads on the main page alone that you have NOT posted on. Didn't tell them to post on the existing thread but you sought mine out? Funny that, why are you so obsessed with me?

Do you want me to tag you in them so you can call those users out too? Or you just want to target me with your little obsession? ;)

YOU calling other people obsessed?? Please tell me this is sarcasm. You are not even a tennis fan but just always on a rampage against male tennis players you don’t like (and Court).

Why is it you sought my thread out and ignored the countless others? It's alarming, I knew I had you on block for a reason and you've proven it here.

Go look at the multiple other threads and ask yourself why you didn't post what you did here. You are obsessed with your hatred of me.

Didn’t you want to put me back on ignore? ;). Not that I care though.

That's my understanding. I read it somewhere.

The decision may be appealed by CAS, they have 21 days from the date of receipt of the decision.

The decision was published on August 19th, 21 days from there it'd be August 11th.

But then I'm not privy of the date when the decision was received by CAS, which most likely was sooner.

You've been on ignore this whole time, I just respond because it's fun showing what a hypocrite you are ;)

Did you ever ask yourself why you didn't comment on the countless other Sinner threads saying they should stick to the one with 1000+ posts? But that you did on mine?

Obsession babe, it's a sickness.

Again, you calling people obsessive and hypocrite shows that you lack even a scintilla of self-awareness. But to answer you annoying question: I picked out your thread because a) it was the first one showing up after the main one and b) I know your posting history and the intentions you have with such threads.
 
Sinner is one of the absolute most marketable players on the planet, so no.

The average viewer won't care about the controversy at all. If they even hear about it, they'll see he was acquitted and run with that.

Ain't nobody casual reading about microdosing, Clostebol half-life or whatever.

"Picked out my thread", got it.

Obsession babe, get some help and move on from me. Think it's clear as day that you sought me out and have a sick stalking of me here, i've had you on block for a while, I wonder how long you've been doing this for :/ Yikes.

Finished with you now :) Bye.

The true question stops on whether people think Sinner is still intentionally doping.

If yes, then whether Sinner wins or not, you can say it's a bad look because either Sinner lost even though he is doping, which is bad for his credibility or he wins USO because he is on the juice.

But if he is clean today, then whether he was doping or not in March is irrelevant. Whatever he is winning today he is doing without a competitive advantage.
 
Sinner never doped and he chose the procedure that found him having no fault. Halep chose a different procedure and was initially found culpable on the facts.
 
You can have your opinion on Sinner, but stop spreading misinformation. Erranis positive test came up in February 2017, and news didn't go out until August when the verdict was made, she was found guilty. Halep tested positive in August of 2022, news didn't came out until late October, again when the decision of verdict had been made. These are the standard procedures. Sinners "test" wasn't being hidden from the public, it was under investigation until a decision had been made. Stop these lies.

He didn't fail a dope test twice. The test sample was tested twice for consistency/verification.
You're insinuating he was tested twice and failed twice.
Same sample. One dope test, sample tested 2x at two independent labs.
 
If one feels strongly about an injustice, I see nothing wrong with posting a thread every single day. When Sabalenka was non chalant about dating a married man with children I did not think it was ok. When she got rid of the sad sack, we were forced to believe he fell from a balcony. She was cold and calculated about the sordid affair and Sinner now is just as dead pan flat out cool about his alleged faux pas. Keep posting, babe.

Is this in response to me? I'm lost babe?

I got told here by multiple posters during that Sabalenka ordeal that her ex boyfriend died from the Covid vaccine. Then it came out that he committed s****** after he split from Sabalenka. An utterly awful situation for everyone involved.

So i'm confused with how any of that links with Sinner testing positive multiple times to doping? This is.. weird?

Weirdness prevails, babes, it is all interconnected, if ****** tumbles from balcony in X, the butterfly effect kicks in and a random guy called Y will test positive. The point of my post is that you should keep posting...it is not all in vain.
