Sinner, defended by Casper Ruud: “I always considered it innocent”
Norwegian Casper Ruud (26 years old, 6 ATP) defended Jannik Sinner, a 3-month-old player after an agreement with the World Doping Agency (Wada), declaring that he was “extremely unlucky”.
“I have always considered him innocent and extremely unlucky in how the substance entered his body.
It is obviously rare (no accidental contamination), but it is physically possible. It is difficult to be suspended for three months when you are innocent. I have never seen Jannik as someone who would take or intentionally cheat, ”the Norwegian told AFP, being quoted by News.ro.
Ruud explained the situation of the players, who have to pay attention to a lot of variables, their work being extraordinarily complicated:
“As players, we are extremely vulnerable because we are exposed to a lot of different people and places, to a lot of different foods and countries.. You cannot ask each restaurant where the food it serves! ”the former finalist from Roland Garros and US Open pointed out.
