The Spin

Narrative A

The three-month suspension is a fair resolution acknowledging Sinner's lack of intent to cheat while upholding anti-doping principles. The settlement allows a reasonable penalty for an inadvertent violation caused by team negligence, and the timing ensures minimal disruption to the tennis calendar.

Narrative B

The lenient ban undermines fairness in tennis, as other players have received harsher penalties — including life bans — for similar violations. The convenient timing and retention of titles set a concerning precedent that elite players can negotiate favorable terms even after positive tests.
