\n

Novak Djokovic\u00a0declared that\u00a0Jannik Sinner\u2019s\u00a0doping case is damaging\u00a0tennis\u00a0\u2013 and made the claim just minutes before the Italian\u2019s defeat to\u00a0Carlos Alcaraz\u00a0at the China Open. Sinner, who won the US Open last month, twice tested positive for an anabolic steroid in March, but an independent tribunal determined he was not to blame and imposed no punishment.<\/p>\n

The tribunal accepted Sinner\u2019s explanation that the banned substance entered his body as a result of a massage from his physio, who had used a spray containing the steroid to treat a cut on their finger. However, the prospect of a suspension has re-emerged since the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) launched an appeal against a ruling of \u201cno fault or negligence\u201d.<\/p>\n

WADA has lobbied the Court of Arbitration for Sport,\u00a0seeking to impose a ban of up to two years\u00a0on the 23-year-old. The appeal was lodged last Thursday but was not announced until Saturday morning, while Sinner was in action at the China Open<\/p>\n

The world No.1 reached Wednesday\u2019s final in Beijing,\u00a0only to see his 15-match winning streak halted by Alcaraz\u00a0in three thrilling sets. Meanwhile, Djokovic was appearing at a press conference at the Shanghai Masters.<\/p>\n

The 24-time grand slam winner criticised the way the Sinner case was being handled, highlighting \u201cway too many inconsistencies\u201d and \u201cway too many governing bodies\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pressed on WADA\u2019s recent intervention, Djokovic said: \u201cI think it’s quite obvious that we have a system that is not working well. I guess that’s probably something that even the people who are not following our sport are realising.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s way too many inconsistencies, way too many governing bodies involved. Just this whole case is not helping our sport at all.<\/p>\n
