In view of Swiatech’s sentence, Simona Halep was one of the several players who questioned the differences in differentiating with doping cases.
In 2023, Romanians were banned for four years for two doping anti -violations, later reduced to nine months after an appeal.
Referring to both cases in December, Kirgios said: “I think people are trying to sweep it under the rug. I think it is terrible in our game. There are two world numbers for doping, it is disgusting for our game. It is a terrible form.”
In view of the suspension of the sinner, former British number one Tim Henman claimed that the ban was “very convenient” and left tennis fans with “beautiful sour taste”.
“When you are working with drugs in sports, it should be too much black and white, it is binary, it is positive or negative, you are banned or you are not banned” he told Sky Sports.
“When you start reading words like disposal or agreement, it seems that there is a conversation and I don’t think this player will sit well with Kohrast and Sports fans.”
Serena Williams said she would have been banned for 20 years and some of her Grand Slam titles were taken away if she committed the same anti -doping crime as men’s world number one sinner.
British player Tara Moore, who was provided provisionally banned for two years, challenging the doping charge, in which he was eventually approved after 19 months, it was also suggested that top players were “treated differently”, their image was preferred.
Preferential treatment charges were strongly disputed by Itia and Wada, but many people believe that both players have benefited from being able to work quickly to top lawyers.
“Most players do not feel that it is appropriate,” said 24 -time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic. “It appears that if you are a top player, you can almost affect the result, if you have access to top lawyers.”
Professionary Tennis Players Association (PTPA) – an organization co -installing by Djokovic that is aimed at increasing the power of the player – said that the system lacks “transparency”, “process” and “stability” in the system.
Writing on social media, three -time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka said that she “did not believe in any more clean sports”.
