The Jannik Sinner doping case: an investigation into tennis’s two-tier justice system
How the (ex) world’s #1 player escaped punishment while science, procedure, and fairness were abandoned

‘Soup’ was a slang term for drugs that were injected into a horse to make it run faster.
A racehorse that was on PEDs was said to be ‘souped up.’
We now use the term to refer to anything that is enhanced.
One of the big crimes of doping (known doped times, suspected doped times or pan y agua) is that we'll likely never know the real limits of natural human potential.
What would the record books look like? Who is the fastest man or woman over 100m?
I've just ordered myself a copy of @A_Jones_Reports new(ish) book and I have to say it looks very promising.
If anyone has already read it, let me know what you though.
A reminder that people will cheat at absolutely anything.
There is no prize for the winner, only a trophy. So imagine what people will do for money (and how that escalates when the money does.)
💉💉💉💉At least be less obvious @ukantidoping this is the same stunt you pulled in Moscow. When the best advice you gave was - Make sure the person has an illness that they're taking the medication for.
Shameless bunch of cheats and murderers.
Tennis has a long history of doping and a testing regime that is both woefully inadequate, easy to beat and a governing body that would rather the whole messy business would just go away.
A (very) potted history:
BREAKING: Jannik Sinner has accepted an immediate three-month ban from tennis after reaching a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) over his two positive drug tests last year.
