Boris Becker has commented on the doping case involving Jannik Sinner.

In an interview reported by Tennis Up To Date, the German spoke about anti-doping controls and integrity in tennis, highlighting the Italian's ethics and personality.

"Yes, doping is completely opposite to his personality. I have total confidence in him. I am more wary of players who suddenly explode during a season or who are phenomenal for two or three tournaments. That kind of thing is suspicious. But Jannik has been among the best for years."

For the record, Sinner was sentenced to a 3-month suspension for negligence by the World Anti-Doping Agency. This decision follows a positive test for clostebol (an anabolic steroid) at Indian Wells in 2024.

Thanks for the good words of support. And to d smith (cherrycoke) I am moved by your words and wish you had been around to experience what I'm referring to. As it is there are revolving groups of players each week. The ones in question might be moved out to another group 1 week in four. That means for 3 weeks of every 4 there is unfair play. If you are buying boosts the odds are greatly in your f...

There are a group of players who feel the need to win and spend a bunch of money to add boosts to their predictions. That is ok if they have it to spend. Many of us do not.
