World number five Jessica Pegula believes that handling high-profile doping cases associated with Jannik Sinner and IGA sweatek has shown that “the process is completely broken”. And Aryana Sabalenka of the top order admitted that she could not rely on the tennis anti-doping system and has made it “very fear”. The long doping saga of Sinner ended on Saturday when she agreed to the three -month ban from tennis, accepting the “partial responsibility” for the world number one team mistakes, due to which in March last year, Clostbol of Clostbol A positive testing was done twice for the mark.
Sinner was facing a two-year possible ban, when the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced in August, the Court of Orbitration for Sport (CAS) against its initial exemption by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) Appeal to
In a stunning step, Wada withdrew his appeal and signed an agreement with the sinner to accept the three -month ban.
In a statement, Wada said, “The sinner did not intend to cheat” but would serve his suspension as he is responsible for his entry functions.
After a positive test for the restricted Heart Drug Trimatazidine (TMZ) at the end of last year, Swiytech accepted a one -month ban.
The 23-year-old pole took out the WTA Asian swing in September-October citing “personal matters”.
Last year’s US Open Finalist and a member of the WTA Players Council, Pegula said that the manner in which cases are being processed, discrepancies are being processed and it has been decided that it has been decided that an inappropriate for all tennis players Is creating the atmosphere.
The American told reporters in Dubai on Sunday, “I think my response is that, whether you do it or you don’t, or whatever side you are in, the process is not a process completely Is.”
– ‘Ruling Make Up’ –
“It seems that whatever decisions and factor they are, they keep in mind, and they just decide their own.
“I really don’t understand how it is appropriate for the players when there is only so much inconsistency and you don’t know.”
Pegula said that any emails received by the players about doping anti-doping cases include clarifications with which it is very easy to come, and the ways to justify their inconsistent regulations and procedures for anti-doping organizations. Are.
“If you are clean or not, the process is completely broken,” he said.
“I think there is a need to look and consider it seriously. I think they have so much power to ruin someone’s career, as well. I think something needs to be done about it because It seems really inappropriate.
“I don’t think any player still rely on this process. Zero. It is just a terrible look for the game.”
– ‘very scared’ Sabalenka –
Sabalanka refused to comment on the result of the sinful case, but says she has become very careful with the strict anti -doping rules of the game.
“You just start to be more careful. For example, I will not care about leaving water to my glass and going to the bathroom in a restaurant. Now, I am not going to drink with the same glass of water, “Belarusian world number one said.
“You just get a little more aware about the luggage and this thing reaches your head, like, if someone has used a cream on you and you do positive tests, then they are going to go for you And they are not going to believe you or anything.
“You are very afraid of just the system. I don’t see how I can trust the system.”
Swetek said that she was confident that the process eventually “became fair”, when his response to the sinner’s decision was asked.
“Every matter is different. Each story is different, of course,” Swetek said in another place.
“Due to Jannik or my position, we are like playing tennis, even like celebrities. Everyone thinks it from a hundred different attitudes.
“But I just try to stick to the facts and read the documents. I am confident that in the end the process has become fair. This is just one thing because I do not do it because I try not to do justice . “
The three -month approval of the sinner was described as “ridiculous” by Australian Firebrand Nick Kyrgyos.
“Guilty or not? Sad day for tennis. Fairness does not exist in tennis,” Kyrgios posted on X on Saturday.
And three -time Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka was equally harmful to the deal, writing: “I no longer believe in a clean game.”
