Doping Controversy Looms Over Australian Open

Jannik Sinner is currently defending his title as the world’s best male tennis player at the Australian Open. But come April, he’ll be defending himself in another arena – the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Last year, the tennis world was shocked by revelations both Sinner and women’s world No. 2 Iga Świątek had tested positive for banned substances.

Their cases were resolved in private, raising concerns their high profiles and considerable resources gave them an unfair advantage when it came to dodging public scrutiny.

Today, sports journalist and author of the Substack “But Do You Actually Like Sport?”, Molly McElwee, on the twin doping scandals overshadowing the Australian Open.
