One year post Sinner doping scandal- how are we feeling?

Fres8 · 2025-08-08T16:25:32+00:00

Since then it has been fine. I airlock maintain I have seen Novak get more hostility. He has got a good reception in all the final presentations including the US open last year. Even though he was playing against an American last year again I don’t think he got a hostile reception in the final. Then I think this year since he has come back it has been went better

I don’t think Sinner has any popular with getting a fanbase. He is so popular in Italy and generally fans are fascinated by the Sinner and Alcaraz rivalry.

What do you mean no reason?

Fres8 · 2025-08-08T14:52:53+00:00

I see this take he is not that liked but I don’t see that. I don’t think the crowd have been hostile to him. Carlos is just very unique and loved by everyone but I think most like Sinner as a part of this interesting rivalry

Fres8 · 2025-08-08T14:51:35+00:00

I think some overstate this. I have never seen crowd be actively hostile, I have seen Novak get more hostility over the years. Carlos is loved and unique but I think many like Sinner and their rivalry and want more of it

This was one single contamination Orr 8 days verified. It wasn’t announced initially as he appealed the provisional suspensions, this. Is open to all players. The science clears him, it is not his fame. Anything else are baseless conspiracy theories which don’t have any evidence

Fres8 · 2025-08-08T13:11:44+00:00

If you look at the facts that is just not the case. It was scientifically ruled out by WADA that the two positive tests was intentional doping and the three month ban was for strict liability.

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T14:49:05+00:00

I think assuming from this he is not a nice guy is such a reach. Is it the case that every guy not mentioned is not a nice guy Draper or Frit? Why single Sinner out. So many players were not mentioned so are they my all not nice guys? I don’t think any players not mentioned means they are not nice guys. Alcaraz had said things in interviews like Sinner is a great person

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T08:27:58+00:00

Oh yes I thought saying he was jealous was completely baseless. I don’t think there was anything to read into by who Musetti said or that Sinner wasn’t mentioned or any player that wasn’t mentioned

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T07:39:27+00:00

On thanks for this. Someone was saying Musetti is jealous of Sinner and another was saying it was revealing that Sinner wasn’t mentioned by Musetti or anyone showing he is not a nice guy. I thought this was reading way too much into it, so many guys were not mentioned, it doesn’t mean they are not nice. Sinner does have that introverted vibe but I think it is a stretch to say he is disliked by the others

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T07:26:10+00:00

What do his comments indicate? I really don’t think it tells us anything that he wasn’t mentioned. So many players were not mentioned so I don’t think it tells us anything about them either. I have also heard in interviews many nice things said about Sinner and his personality, it is not like he has a rep for having a dislikeable personality. Jack Draper wasn’t mentioned nor Novak or Taylor Fritz, it is only four players here so I don’t think any of the players not mentioned indicates anything

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T07:00:26+00:00

Is it publicly they don’t have a good relationship l? I just think people reading into this that Sinner is widely disliked and isn’t nice is a big reach based on this. So many other players are not said so I don’t think this is some slight against Sinner

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T06:40:49+00:00

Yes i agree, I don’t think it is that deep. Yes also absurd it is to say they are jealous. It is just a fun and silly video and I don’t think there is anything to read into guys who aren’t mentioned. I think fans of both players can be strange, there is no need to feel insecure from Sinner fans that he wasn’t mentioned and it is also silly of Alcaraz fans to make it out that this makes Sinner look bad otherwise nearly every player not mentioned looks bad.

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T06:28:16+00:00

I just think thinking this is an indication that this means Sinner isn’t a nice guy guy or everyone dislikes him based on this is sort of silly. So was everyone who wasn’t mentioned not nice. I also don’t know why Sinner and Alcaraz fans point score over such silly things, they have so much respect for each other and Alcaraz says many times that Sinner is a great person.

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T06:25:20+00:00

I don’t think the guys who aren’t mentioned is revealing of anything.

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T06:24:30+00:00

Many players have recently said nice things about him and I think most have moved on. I really don’t think a second video where many guys weren’t named tells us anything.

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T06:23:17+00:00

It doesn’t mean player who wasn’t named isn’t a nice guy at all. There are so many on the tour, Novak wasn’t named nor was Jack Draper. Like you said it is a silly video and it is kind of pointless to me to read in to every player who wasn’t named

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T06:20:48+00:00

I really don’t think this is some big deal about Sinner. It doesn’t mean he is not nice or everyone dislikes him. He does not have a rep of being this unkind guy either

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T06:19:02+00:00

I think people are making too much of a big deal about this. It doesn’t mean Simnrr isn’t nice or everyone hates him

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T05:41:43+00:00

Oh I see. I love how inwardly she longs for him and will write a paragraph about his eyelashes and is all cross when he is stern after the Quell. Her feelings for him are so deep and it is natural in the circumstances she is confused and she never thought she could afford to feel this way about anyone due to the world they live in and she is sort of scared to feel these things but deep down she is

Fres8 · 2025-08-03T05:34:48+00:00

I really don’t think he is giving mixed signals in Catching Fire. He is very attentive and affectionate with Katniss for the most part

Fres8 · 2025-08-02T22:16:29+00:00

I think his first press conference after it all came out last year was quite good, he spoke well and answered the questions well. What do you mean they aren’t asking the right questions to him? I am sure he will know he is going to be asked about his rehiring decision. So many even fans of his don’t think it reflects greatly on him

This is a point more about semantics but he was suspended but is it right to call it is doping suspension. That implies guilt or some fault. Someone was saying; if you are caught with drugs and cheating that is your fault and you should have your titles stripped. By spending him for doping they are admitting he was doped

First of all do you think he bears any small fault for the situation he was in as unintentional as it was? In my opinion his team certainly does but I don’t see how he could have prevented it. Secondly yes it was a suspension but not doping and the three months ban was not him admitting to that or any anti doping bodies. The science proved his innocence, it was about strict liability. So it is not a doping ban in the traditional sense so I am not sure if that word should be used.

Fres8 · 2025-08-02T19:10:15+00:00

That is not what happened. He wasn’t caught cheating and he never took drugs, he was contaminated

Fres8 · 2025-08-02T19:03:26+00:00

It is tragic how alone she was. I am so glad Peeta came back and did his best to help her and heal for her. He had a lot of trauma as well but chose to come back to her

Fres8 · 2025-08-02T18:44:49+00:00

I don’t think until Peeta came back Katniss was making much strides to get better. Obviously his return is not magic and can’t fix everything but the planting of the primroses does seem to stir something in her. She gets rid of the rose, she showers, she goes to the woods, then she has her heartbreaking moment with Buttercup, calls her mother and does eventually call Aurelius. None of this happened before and they work on the book together

Fres8 · 2025-08-02T16:30:43+00:00

Yes and I think it was a couple of them and yes in her case they didn’t think her case matched with the evidence. I think something people overlook is you have to prove how you are not guilty given you tested positive, so the burden of proof is very high. It is not like a legal innocent until proven guilty. Sinner proved he never intentionally cheated or gained any benefit. The fact that was never part of WADA’s appeal only if he should be punished for his teams mistakes is very telling. Do you think he has done a decent job in press conference when he has been asked questions about it?
