It's not a smart move or a good look. He's finished w/ that chapter of his life. He reached the final of 3 big tourney's and winning another slam in the process. Close the book on that and leave it. Now, he opens this can of worms again and will get questioned about it for the duration of the summer HC.

I don't understand why he would bring this guy back. I get he needs a job, but so do a lot of other folks. Find someone else who needs work and will take care of you.
Agreed. Even if they did things with his support, don't bring them back. Give them a big pay off (secretly) and let them go with other players. Just don't bring them back into your own orbit.

It’s wild work to read Sinner rehired the fitness trainer essentially a couple months after serving a ban. I thought Sinner was smarter than that. I guess not. My opinion of him tanked significantly. There are many damn fitness trainers out there.

This is all the more reason for Sinner to select better advisers for his inner circle. Recently un-sacking the man who brought a prohibited substance into the camp shows a lack of sensitivity to the fact that had WADA refused to negotiate, CAS appeal May have gone against him, precipitating a ban from 1-2 years.

Not everyone believes his story, and he’s playing now due to the good grace of others…

I think it was the "mouth", Courier that mentioned in Cinci that Yannik wasn't happy with the new fitness coach. Says his fitness was better w/ the tainted guy and he didn't want to give an inch when having to compete with the rest of the tour. How worse could the new guy be when Yannik was 1 point away from winning RG and then able to overcome an injury during the fortnight at Wimby and go on to win the title?

BUMP after the Vondrousova 4-year ban

"I find Sinner's story very suspicious, particularly given that Clostebol contamination and use/abuse is an extremely well-known issue in Italy. Further, I find every PR angle to be unconvincing. When they he had "less than a billionth of a gram" that is deceptive, as such a "trace" amount is what is typically found in PED abusers. People say that level could not enhance his performance but Clostebol clears the system in 4-5 days, and he/they could have cycled it incorrectly that round."

Thanks to the initial silent ban and preferential treatment, Sinner's case is inevitably being discussed again over social media after the Vondrousova ban. Examples:

"A professional physical trainer doing a bare hand massage on an open wound after applying a cream on a wound of his own with that cream having a big WARNING! DOPING! label on it because there were already multiple cases regarding clostebol abuse in Italy?

Even Yastermska’s excuse was more plausible lol"

"Entirely plausible that:
- Physio had a cream that has the words "DOPING" printed on the package.
- Physio previously worked for basketball club that had players test positive for said DOPING.
- Physio takes said DOPING from Italy to IW.
- Physio uses DOPING daily while in IW.
- Physio has a cut in his finger and works on Sinner without gloves.
- Sinner has a skin condition (in some place in his body we've never seen) that facilitates transfer of DOPING from physio's open cut to Sinner's skin and eventually to Sinner's bloodstream and eventually his urine.

Totally plausible chain of events "

Will be interesting to see how much Vondrousova's ban is reduced by.

I see you could not help yourself again regarding Sinner again AF LOL!, he was cleared though I agree he is/was responsible as head of team, and served time, the tiny amount infused, could not be Enchancing., Period and he was deemed he did not to it Intential and you Remember Sinner Never Refused a Test!

A player cannot refuse a test which is classifed as a serious Anti Doping Rule Violation under the World Anti Doping Code
Marketa has changed her story and circumstances a few times and as a player you cant then decide to go walk your dog? after refusing a test
Marketa will have to employ a very good lawyer to get her penalty reduced
If you refuse a test that just waves Red Flags to begin with? BTW Sinner Never Refused A Test BTW when the tiny amount was found in his system?
