Lüthi, former coach of Federer: "Roger always paid attention to the prescription of medications during his career"
Severin Lüthi accompanied Roger Federer for fifteen years on the professional circuit, also serving as his Davis Cup captain.
Now coaching the young talent Henry Bernet, Lüthi opened up about Sinner's doping case to Corriere del Ticino: "I admire Sinner for the way he has been able to handle 2024 and the first months of 2025. He has done it like a true world No. 1. He is a player who deserves all the respect.
His case is far from being a doping case. But I prefer not to comment on the decisions made by the authorities who addressed this issue.
There is probably a lack of clarity in the rules. But I do not want to enter into such a delicate and difficult debate, especially regarding ointments and painkillers.
On this aspect, I like to remind that Roger always paid great attention to the prescription of medications during his career. But unfortunately, even simple distractions can be costly."
Your in a sport with regular random drug tests ... of course you pay attention to anything you put in and on your body.
