Jannik Sinner: Tennis star's doping ban explored
How did Jannik Sinner’s drugs ban deal come about and where does it leave the fight against doping in tennis?
They tried to convince Sinner to enter negotiation twice. Sinner initially wants to wait until April but lawyers don’t want him to take the risk of a lengthier ban. This WADA organization is really a big joke. Can ITIA separated themselves from WADA please?

It’s been discussed here before.
It was only a litigation strategy that me and Raul developed through telepathy to plant the idea in the minds of TTW posters in order to place additional public pressure on WADA. Even the USADA with all its whinging about WADA is not suggesting any US sports entity leaving it just wants an audit (maybe a change of some personnel ?) and more aggressive not less aggressive enforcement of the Code.It’s been discussed here before.
I’ve been arguing throughout the Carrot saga that maybe tennis should leave. But now that the Carrot case is resolved to Raul’s not perfect but general satisfaction I no longer have to present this stupid position.
It is the American exceptionalism. (And it is a flaw)

I would say they realized they needed to “evolve” because they were presenting CAS with bad choices.
Exactly. Some have spun his statement to mean he acknowledged he is at fault. Nope. That was a carefully worded statement to satisfy WADA. I’m with your reading.

Jury implies this is a public court case. You mean the 3 judges.
You mean to a brand new arbitration (at CAS). I already gave my opinion on why WADA settled which mostly aligns with WADA’s GC except I had any additional reason but understand why WADA would not mention a tribunal ignoring the Code sanction rules to fashion a more “fair” sanction. And WADA GC suggests “winning” and Carrot getting a year min is not something WADA thought was a good result anyway. WADA cares more about protecting the principle that you can’t pin it on your team and walk then the length of the sanction in its current Code version.
But Carrot’s lawyer told him what every lawyer on the planet has told every client that has ever taken a settlement in a disciplinary proceeding (or a plea in a criminal one): you can’t predict what the “jury” will do.
lol I don’t know bro. Italy market is not a big pull.
Do apologize for the growing pages. Will try to keep things compact in threads alone.
Wow, that would be a shock for me if we didn’t see him back there. I feel like Rome is Djokovic’s favourite clay event outside RG.
Novak loved Rome and he was always very popular, but he is well aware now of the hatred towards him from Sinner fans and it seems sadly some of those fans have links to extremist groups so i would think Novak will not take any risks.
Fair. Im not a Djokovic fan but for me it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t get a send off there. As you say, though, it’s a tricky proposition with the crowd.
Don’t forget the All-Russia People's Front Party.Our favourite Bart fails to mention that it is an authoritarian one-party state led by the CPC.

And that is exactly why WADA should _not_ settle and let CAS to its thing. I too agree that a 1 year (or more) ban would be too harsh of a penalty. But if you believe that CAS does not have to follow the sanctions scheme to the letter, and can instead impose its own penalty that it sees as fair - and I agree with that - then that means WADA did not
Because CAS could and probably would have, impose some smaller ban. Perhaps 3 months. Which would make the whole thing look soo much better: the process would have been followed, WADA would have been seen as having correctly appealed ITIA decision, CAS would have ruled that Sinner is somewhat at fault for the actions of his team - which even Sinner agrees with now, there would have been no perception of 'secret deal'. The only thing would be that the ban, since handed down after CAS hearing, would mean that Sinner would have to miss some Grand Slam(s), and that CAS decision would clearly look as 'Sinner is somewhat at fault'. Instead of the 'official perception now': Sinner very reluctantly and graciously agreed to a deal offered by WADA, only after some serious convincing and following the advise by his lawyers. Please......
