International Tennis Integrity Agency: As the US Open approaches, Paris Olympics gold medalist Novak Djokovic has called for “clear protocols” and “standardised approaches” following the doping controversy surrounding Jannik Sinner.

Djokovic voiced his concerns after Sinner, who twice tested positive for a banned substance earlier this year, escaped a ban that has left many in the tennis community questioning the fairness of the system.

Djokovic, speaking ahead of the US Open, echoed these frustrations. “I understand the frustration of the players because of a lack of consistency,” the 24-time Grand Slam champion said. “His case was cleared almost immediately after it was announced, but five or six months had passed since the news of the positive tests reached him and his team.”
