(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 20 - World number one Jannik Sinner tested
positive for doping last April, but an independent investigation
by ITIA, the world tennis anti-doping agency, cleared him of
doping due to an "unconscious intake" of a substance used by his
physiotherapist, the Australian Open champion's press office
said Tuesday.
The substance found in the 23-year-old South Tyrolean's body was
a metabolite of Clostebol, a steroid.
Sinner will not incur any sanctions and will be able to continue
his season, where he is aiming for a US Open win. (ANSA).
