The tennis world has been buzzing with controversy, and the hits just keep coming. As if the uproar over Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek’s doping cases wasn’t enough, another bombshell has dropped—this time involving young Russian talent Daniil Savelev. But here’s the twist: it’s not just the players under the spotlight. Fans are now calling out the investigative agencies themselves, accusing them of playing favorites, sparking claims of preferential treatment for the sport’s bigger name
In its statement, the ITIA said that it believed that Savelev took the banned substance unintentionally. “Savelev admitted to ingesting meldonium tablets, confusing family medication for supplements of a similar appearance,” However, he accepted a suspension for not taking any steps to mitigate the rule violation. Now, this judgment has sparked a huge furor in the tennis community.
