Serena Williams recently remarked that had she failed a drug test like Jannik Sinner, she would have faced a 20-year ban from tennis. Sinner, the men's world No. 1, received a three-month suspension for testing positive twice for the performance-enhancing drug clostebol in March of the previous year. The Italian player reached a settlement with the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) resulting in a three-month ban, despite initial findings of his violations during his successful runs in the Australian Open and US Open championships.
