Jannik Sinner has been dropped from an exhibition event in Las Vegas next month while the No. 1-ranked men's tennis player is serving a three-month ban connected to a pair of failed doping tests.

The men's world No. 1 will miss several tournaments, but no Grand Slams. Here's what to know about the doping proceedings against him.

Doping Agency on Monday offered an explanation for why top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner received a much shorter doping ban than the six-year suspension it handed to a Spanish figure skater in a similar doping case.

A senior official from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) assured that Jannik Sinner's case is "a million miles away from doping." General Counsel Ross Wenzel spoke to BBC Sports about the three-month suspension accepted by World No.

Jannik Sinner, the world’s No. 1 male tennis player, has accepted a three-month ban from the sport following an anti-doping rule violation. Australian Open champion Sinner, 23, received a sanction in August but was found by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to bear “no fault or negligence” after twice testing positive for clostebol — a banned anabolic steroid — at the Indian Wells Masters 1000 tournament in March.

Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban from tennis to settle a case which has lingered over the sport for months after he twice tested positive for a banned substance, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced on Saturday.

The timing means the 23-year-old Italian won't miss any Grand Slam tournaments. The French Open, the season's next major, starts May 25.

WADA offered an explanation for the difference in doping bans between tennis player Jannik Sinner (three months) and figure skater Laura Barquero (six years).
