Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner tested positive twice for a banned anabolic steroid in March.

The 23-year-old tested positive for low levels of a metabolite of clostebol, a banned anabolic steroid that can be used for ophthalmological and dermatological use. 

Sinner was stripped of prize money and points earned at a tournament in California, but the newly crowned Cincinnati Open winner won't face further suspension.

One notable player in the sport strongly disagrees with the outcome.

Nick Kyrgios says Sinner only surrendering prize money and points is "ridiculous," and Sinner shouldn't see the court for a long time.

"Whether it was accidental or planned. You get tested twice with a banned (steroid) substance… you should be gone for 2 years. Your performance was enhanced. Massage cream…. Yeah nice," Kyrgios posted to X.

The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced Tuesday that Sinner would not be suspended because an independent tribunal said it was not intentional. He was suspended because of those test results, but he successfully appealed and was allowed to keep competing on tour.
