Must be the shortest silent ban in tennis history. Clostebol is the same thing Dorota Borowska got provisionally suspended for before the Olympics before it was revoked (so the massage cream for her dog).

Clostebol is one of the ingredients of the Trofodermin cream, which is the most used cream for skin troubles (cuts, burns, dermatitis and more) here in Italy

 

and you only need a simple prescription to buy it...so, even if there's written on the box that it's doping, it might easily be used by people who don't have to respect any doping rule, but they might end up contaminating people who should pay more attention to that

 

that said, I think there's a problem with that cream, as perfectly explained by this article

Italy is probably the strictest nation on the planet when it comes to doping.

if it's not the strictest, surely it's in the top 3

I would still have a problem with Sinner's team being reckless and stupid enough to use anything with Clostebol as an ingredient.

They should be much better than that.

I agree on that

 

but my anger was about another issue concerning the senseless words of our "beloved" troll, I'm not speaking in defence of Sinner and his crew (and actually I'm surprised that NADO Italia haven't started head down to try and getting him banned yet, as they're always in search of publicity and this case would be a special chance for them)

Indian race walker Bhawna Jat handed 16-month ban for ‘whereabouts failure’ by NADA panel. 

Bhawna, who was provisonally suspended last year, will see her ban end in December this year.
