Doping: the sanction inflicted on sinner deemed “insufficient” by 62 % of tennis lovers

This verdict is definitely not unanimous. Suspended for three months by the World Anti -Doping Agency (AMA), Jannik Sinner will be able to return to competition at the beginning of May. This sanction is deemed “insufficient” for 62 % of tennis lovers, according to an Odoxa survey for Winamax and RTL on a sample of 1,005 people including 396 tennis lovers.

They are almost as much (58 %) to judge its incoherent sanction, compared to other players sanctioned in the past. A weak minority (23 %) believes that Sinner was wrongly sentenced and should have been bleached. Only half of the respondents judge this decision “transparent”.

This affair highlights the scourge of doping in tennis, in full expansion according to enthusiasts. They are 63 % to estimate that their sport is affected, 12 points more than October 2022. For all French people, tennis arrives in fourth place in sports most affected by doping, after cycling ( 73 %), athletics (62 %) and football (53 %).
