Novak Djokovic revealed that most tennis players don\u2019t trust the anti-doping authorities anymore after Jannik Sinner’s 3-month suspension and that almost all of them believe that they are favoritism shown to the tennis\u2019 greatest players.<\/p>\n
The Serbian shared that these organizations must overhaul their processes because they are no longer trusted within the tennis community.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the moment, there is a lack of trust generally from the people in our sport, no matter the gender, toward WADA and ITIA and how they do their jobs,\u201d Nole shared at the Qatar Open.<\/p>\n
Jannik, who is number 1 in the world, signed a deal with WADA in the past weekend to receive a suspension that will see the Italian return ahead of the next Grand Slam in Paris as that means that Sinner will not miss a single Grand Slam competition.<\/p>\n
The short suspension for Jannik came after a 5-time Grand Slam champ, Iga Swiatek, agreed to a 1-month suspension in the past year after testing positive for a banned substance that the Polish shared was accidentally consumed because of a contaminated nonprescription medication.<\/p>\n
Both suspensions are seen as much shorter than what other players get for similar problems.<\/p>\n
