News24 | Sinner case 'a million miles from doping': WADA

Jannik Sinner received a three-month ban from WADA after testing positive for Clostebol due to accidental contamination, while Laura Barquero was banned for six years for testing positive for the same substance.
The World Anti-Doping Agency stated that the specific circumstances of the doping violations were very different for each athlete.
Laura Barquero first tested positive for Clostebol during the 2022 Winter Olympics and again in January 2023, which led to her lengthy suspension.
WADA formally accepted Sinner's explanation that he did not intend to cheat, which contributed to his shorter ban.
