It is not a surprise, but you have to take note of it. In the first days of this edition of Wimbledon, Jannik Sinner He did not have to worry about beating the opponent who on duty in turn presented himself to play a bad joke, but also of the constant pressing and perhaps even a little annoying, from its point of view, of the foreign media on the “clostebol” affair.
Jannik probably hoped that a point had been put on the question and instead From the colleagues of other countries present in the press room in London a question on this case never fails. At the end of the match won victoriously against Luca Nardi At the debut, there was a question about the reception that could have been different after the “doping-Ban”.
“No, I didn’t have any problems with the welcome of people. I think in the end they also a little forgotten about what happened and in the changing rooms I have always had good relationships with most of the players. I think it was understood that it was a mistake, that I am a clean athlete. It is the past“, He replied the blue, then reserving at the end of the space granted to journalists a look at those who had asked him the question.
The story was repeated yesterday, after the statement against the Australian Aleksandar Vukic. A Polish colleague brought up the case of Kamil Majchrzakamong other things, in this edition 2025 of Wimbledon for the round of 16 achieved, disqualified (at first for 4 years with the penalty then reduced after the appeal to 13 months) For an episode of contamination of an isogonic drink that the player had begun to take from September 2022. “See other tennis players who can take the field in the same circumstances that I have lived I do not bring me peace or serenity“, He commented with respect to what happened with Sinner.
To underline, however, the diversity of the two situationsspeaking of a direct hiring of a drink for the Polish, who supported the lack of the prohibited substance found by the tests at its own devolving. The evolution of Jannik’s contamination is divided into a decidedly different way.
Well, the question was articulated on the advantage of having had high -level legates at his disposal capable of helping him in the procedural process: “I was able to take very good lawyers because I have funds that other players do not have and that I have earned thanks to my results. I faced the same type of process as the other players in my own position. Maybe my defense was more effective because I had better people around me. The itia always takes time to respond to everyone, I know that there have been controversial decisions in the past but my case has been analyzed in detail in many circumstances and my innocence has been tried“, The words of the blue.
And on the fact of making less wealthy lawyers available to available who can guarantee a valid defense: “If such a thing can help, I would be happy to do it. But this is not the case. I repeat, if the same thing happened to me when I was 18, probably I would not have been able to defend myself as I did now because I had the necessary funds to build a great team“.
It would be to be clarified, downstream of everything, that A tennis player at the press conference would be required to answer only questions relating to the game played. Therefore, the attention you want to give to extra situations should not return to you and the athlete would be perfectly entitled to not respond. However, Sinner has shown his great professionalism, letting you understand some discomfort.
