I have the money that others don't," Sinner addresses his defense in doping case

Jannik Sinner had been suspended for three months due to negligence in a doping case. The Italian made his return at this year's Rome Masters 1000.

During a press conference this Thursday, the topic resurfaced thanks to a Polish journalist, who brought up the case of Kamil Majchrzak, who also qualified for Wimbledon's third round.

The Polish player had similarly been suspended for doping in a comparable case but faced a much harsher penalty (from November 30, 2022, to December 29, 2023).

In response, Sinner stated: "I was able to hire a very prestigious lawyer because I have the money that others don't, and I earned it through my own merits.

I followed the same process as other tennis players in my situation; I received no special treatment. My defense may have been more effective because I'm surrounded by the best.

The ITIA (International Tennis Integrity Agency) takes the same amount of time to respond to everyone. I know there have been controversial decisions in the past, but my case was analyzed in detail multiple times, and my innocence was always proven.

I repeat, if this had happened to me at 18, I probably wouldn't have been able to defend myself as I do now, when I have the necessary funds to build a strong team.

Therefore money answers all things, pity on the poorest of the poor even if they're right, they get more punishments.

I kind of like his defence, it's brutally honest about the state of our capitalist society.

No different to the rich being able to afford private healthcare etc.

What an arrogant answer from an arrogant man.

No, the agency didn't take the same time to respond to you, Mr Sinner. Just consider Simona Halep case.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
