(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 20 - Jannik Sinner on Tuesday said he
respected world tennis anti-doping authorities after he tested
positive for a banned steroid in April but was adjudged innocent
due to an 'unconscious intake' and would now put this tough
period behind him.
"I will now put this difficult and deeply unfortunate period
behind me", said the 23-year-old South Tyrolean world number one
and reigning Australian Open champ, who is now eyeing the US
Open.
"I will continue to do everything I can to make sure I continue
to comply with ITIAs anti-doping programme," he added, stressing
that he has "a team around me that is meticulous about
compliance" with the rules (ANSA).
