Tennis star Jannik Sinner tested positive for steroids in March but avoided suspension after it was ruled unintentional by an independent tribunal conducted by the Internatinal Tennis Integrity Agency

The Hindu  

Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner tested positive twice for a banned anabolic steroid in March and was stripped of prize money and points earned at a tournament in Indian Wells, California, but will not be suspended because an independent tribunal said it was not intentional. During the Indian Wells hard-court event in March, Sinner tested positive for low levels of a metabolite of Clostebol, a banned anabolic steroid that can be used for ophthalmological and dermatological use. Sinner tested positive again eight days later in an out-of-competition sample. According to the ITIA, Sinner said his test results happened because a member of his support team used an over-the-counter spray that contained Clostebol to treat a small wound.
