The first grand slam of the tennis season is set to get underway tomorrow night.
One dark cloud hovers over the rest though Jannik Sinner’s presence.
It’s illegal in the United States, but available over the counter in Italy.
He actually tested positive for it on two separate occasions.
While that was being sorted out he was allowed to keep playing as the details were sorted out.
Keep in mind, this luxury does not apply for a large majority of tennis players.
Typically you test positive, get suspended, and the news becomes public.
Players and fans from all over have expressed their displeasure with the ruling.
Special treatment if you will.
Nick Kyrgios has been the loudest of them all being against Sinner and how this was allowed to happen.
They seem determined to levy a legitimate suspension towards Sinner and ban him for at least a year.
Today we found out that hearing is going to happen in April.
Bro it’s January 10th.
Sinner has to wait on all of this until April?
How on Earth could this not be heard sooner?
Okay you don’t want to interfere with the Australian Open, no problem.
What are you doing in February?
And after that it will probably be another month before we know an official ruling.
Whatever side you’re on, waiting until April to decide this shit is outrageous.
This is the number one player in the world!
It’s a fucking mess.
Sure what they found was a microscopic amount of the substance and they claim it was administered by accident.
but pro athletes around the world are responsible for what goes into their bodies.
That’s just how it goes.
If you fuck that up, you face the consequences.
So she just dealt with her hand blowing up like a balloon.
Is it a big coincidence that Sinner experienced the most success in his tennis career last season?
He went a historic 73-6, winning two slams, and the year end finals.
Beyond moronic we have to wait until April.
Happy tennis season everybody!
