Andy Roddick calls psychotic Jannik Sinner’s haters

The former American tennis legend Andy Roddickduring the last episode of his podcast Served withhave expressed their considerations on the very delicate issue brought to the attention of an independent court, following several investigations carried out by the ITIA, and which concerns Jannik Sinner’s positive test for dopingwhere the Italian was declared innocent by an independent court.

In the end – in fact – the verdict was the complete innocence of the Italian player, even if the punishment caused inevitable clashes on social media between colleagues and fans. The former American tennis player reconstructed in detail what happened and added his point of view on the whole story.

One of the points the American emphasizes is the gloveless massage performed by physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi, which prevents the contamination of an infinitesimal amount Monastery ball.

“I have never had a massage with gloves in my entire life. This is not normal, this is psychotic stuff.. I can imagine he tried doping. Well, it would be the worst attempt ever. He didn’t get any benefit from it, the amount is less than a grain of salt. He tested positive when he lost in Indian Wells and again in the second round of Miami, eight days later.

Not for example the first time in November and the second time in April, which could be the basis of a deliberate positivity. Tennis, compared to other sports, has the longest list of banned substances: for example, many substances that footballers use would make us test positive,” he explained.

Andy Roddick says there’s no chance Jannik Sinner wasn’t clean at the Australian Open:

“There’s also a lot of noise online that’s basically saying ‘take away his January win. He beat my favorite player there.’ Stop. You get tested at every slam so there’s no chance he won’t… photo.twitter.com/bkyDRi3kqJ
