No. 1-ranked men's tennis player Jannik Sinner will be participating in the U.S. Open next week, despite testing positive twice in March for a banned anabolic steroid.

The case, which was not publicized until Tuesday, has sparked questions and criticism from other players. Some are concerned about potential double standards due to Sinner's success and the secrecy surrounding the matter, questioning why he was allowed to compete before a resolution was reached.

"I will now put this challenging and deeply unfortunate period behind me," Sinner stated on social media. He emphasized his commitment to compliance with anti-doping regulations, backed by a meticulous support team.
