Gasquet annoyed by the way the anti-doping authorities operate: "They're amateurs".
Richard Gasquet, who will retire from the French Open in 2025, has spoken out on the Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek cases, criticizing the way anti-doping institutions operate.
Interviewed by La Dépêche du Midi, the Biterrois showed his annoyance at the methods of the International Tennis Integrity Agency, which revealed Sinner and Swiatek's positive tests after their resolutions: "What worries me most is that we don't really understand how things work.
You find out afterwards! Normally, there's a trial, then you have a deliberation, then you have a sentence.
But here, you learn everything at once, and that's not normal, it doesn't mean anything.
Gasquet also criticizes the lack of transparency in the way cases are handled: "All of a sudden, you learn, 'Well, he's been tried'. In the meantime, nothing happened, we didn't know anything. It's not normal, it's not professional.
Sports justice is for amateurs. Everyone says so. It's a bit grotesque.
