Florida: World No. 1 tennis player Yannick Zinner is in the entanglement of controversy. The complaint is that the player was not banned by the International Tennis Federation despite being found to have used a banned steroid. After winning the title in Cincinnati Open tennis, the information about attacking Italian player Yannick Sinner is coming out. Yannick Zinner was found to have used a banned steroid substance at the Indian Wells Open in California in March. A re-test after eight days, during a non-competition period, also revealed the presence of the steroid.
But the International Tennis Federation did not ban the star from future matches. Instead, the match fee also blocked the ranking point for participating in the Indian Wells Open. The player lost to Alcaraz in the semi-finals of the tournament. The outside world came to know about these events only after five months. Due to this, many tennis players came against the federation. Australian player Nick Kyrgios wrote on X that what players who have been banned for using banned substances must be thinking now. Canadian player Denis Shapovalov accused that many players have many rules.
Yannick Sinner came to the scene with a heavy controversy. While preparing to compete in the Indian Wells Open, his physiotherapist injured his hand. A steroid commonly available at a pharmacy in Italy was used to heal this wound. Later the same physiotherapist performed the massage without using gloves. This is how I got the steroids in my body, Yannick wrote on SinnerX. It is argued that he was not banned because he accepted this. The star has to face a serious allegation while Yannick is shining as the world number one after winning his fifth title of the year.
