John McEnroe tears into disparity in judgment between Jannik Sinner and Simona Halep

Jannik Sinner’s Clostebol positivity has divided the tennis world, with many media outlets, players and former players weighing in on the issue, including John McEnroeThe former American tennis player has spoken out about the doping case of the young Italian, who was later acquitted by an independent court after testing positive for the banned substance during the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.

During an ESPN preview of the US Open, McEnore commented on the fact that the 23-year-old Italian had not been disqualified and referred to the case of Simona HalepThe legendary American questioned why the cases were initially interpreted differently by the ITIA and supported calls for greater consistency.

“I know tennis is more tested than almost any other sport. This news just came out. It’s certainly surprising and shocking at this point in time. Especially because it happened in March and it’s been six months now and this is the first time we’re hearing about it. I don’t know how they differentiate between someone who says they didn’t know about it and someone who says the same thing and gets suspended. I think Halep said it and he got banned for 18 months for it, and Sinner said he did it unconsciously and that’s why he didn’t get banned.. So it’s clear from the players’ point of view that they want some kind of uniformity. This is a guy who is currently No. 1 in the world. It’s surprising news for all of us,” McEnroe analyzed.

In recent days, news emerged that the Italian tennis player tested positive for Clostebol twice in March, due to contamination through contact with his physiotherapist. The 23-year-old Italian, who was found innocent by the independent court, has proven his innocence and has been punished with the deduction of the points and prize money he collected at the American ATP Masters 1000.

Despite the many controversies that have been stirred up in recent days, I continue to believe that until proven guilty, a person is presumed innocent because he or she is innocent and has no involvement in the facts.
