Jannik Sinner to play US Open semifinal after failed drug tests due to steroid spray with big ‘DOPING’ warning

Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner, despite two failed doping tests, is advancing to the semifinals at the U.S. Open. He is set to play England’s Jack Draper for a chance to compete in the men’s singles final. Sinner tested positive for a banned anabolic steroid called clostebol, which he claims entered his body during a massage treatment by his physiotherapist. The decision not to suspend him has sparked criticism from top players like Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, who question the transparency of the process. Some, like Nick Kyrgios, believe Sinner should face harsher consequences. However, others, like Andre Agassi, defend him, pointing out the complexity of the situation. Despite the controversy, Sinner remains a strong contender for the U.S. Open title.
