Tennis world No.1 Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban for doping having tested positive for a banned substance last year following a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), it said on Saturday.

WADA had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against an independent tribunal’s decision in August to clear Sinner of wrongdoing after he failed drug tests.

Sinner had tested positive for anabolic agent clostebol, which he said had entered his system from a member of his support team through massages and sports therapy. The case was set to be heard by CAS in April.

“Mr Sinner will serve his period of ineligibility from 9 February 2025 to 11:59 pm on 4 May 2025,” WADA said in a statement, which will make him eligible to return before the French Open.

“Mr Sinner may return to official training activity from 13 April 2025. ”

WADA has formally withdrawn its appeal to CAS after they reached a settlement.
