WADA general counsel, Ross Wenzel, says Jannik Sinner’s case was a million miles away from doping & that Jannik did not get to choose what months he would serve his 3-month ban:
“This was a case that was a million miles away from doping. The scientific feedback that we received was that this could not be a case of intentional doping, including micro-dosing."
“Wada has received messages from those that consider that the sanction was too high and, in some respects, if you have some saying this is unfair on the athlete, and others saying it's not enough, maybe it's an indication that although it's not going to be popular with everyone, maybe it's an indication that it was in the right place.”
“When we look at these cases we try to look at them technically, operationally and we don't do it with fear of what the public and the politicians or anyone is going to say."
Wenzel says that sanctions are ‘blind to the calendar’ & says Sinner did not get to choose what months he would serve his ban:
"Once you've reached an agreement, what you can't do is then say 'oh, but we're going to have this apply from two months in the future for a period of three months.’”
"It must come into effect quickly. Of course, once the deal is done, it's important that it is executed and that it is made public for reasons of transparency.”
"So it happened, because of the timing of the CAS proceedings, it happened to be decided last Friday, it was a very late night, and it came into effect immediately, so that is the reason for the timing.”
"The sanctions that we impose and the code even says this, they're blind to the calendar. The correct sanction should be imposed and it comes into effect when it comes into effect and it shouldn't be modulated or modified to take into account whether the events that are coming up are significant or not significant."
He also added that there have been around 67 other resolution agreements since 2021.

@HotmasterJ7469@The_Empty_Queue@ayeejuju Exactly. Idk man but me and my best friend have had this discussion before. If either of us win that kind of money, WE are rich.
@The_Empty_Queue @FlexPooper @ayeejuju If you think your best friend is trying to take advantage and not just saying what he thinks you would say in his shoes, he’s probably not that good of a friend… or you’re not. Either way.
@GigaBasedDad School is the most pointless system ever after about grade 9-10. You know all the basic of what you need. Life experience will get you way further in life
@draynilla I know it’s an old tweet at this point but I’m gonna say tfue. Guy is just a mechanical beast and his mouse control is insane. I think he could be the top of any fps if he wanted to.
