Sinner fires his coach and physiotherapist after scandal
Jannik Sinner decided to bet ended his professional relationships with his physical trainer Umberto Ferrara and physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi. The media outlet Corriere dello Sport reported this Friday that the Italian, world number one, has fired the two main people responsible for his double positive result in clostebol, at least according to Sinner’s theory, which was accepted by the ITIA and an independent expert tribunal. Ferrara and Naldi are therefore no longer part of Yannick’s coaching staff, who now goes to the US Open without the help of these two men.
Umberto Ferrara, the fitness coach, was responsible for purchasing Trofodermin spray, containing clostebol, for physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi to apply to a cut on his finger. On March 5, Naldi failed to wash his hands or wear gloves to treat Sinner, resulting in unintentional contamination with clostebol. which eventually led to the Italian tennis player testing positive twice during the Indian Wells tournament. Jannik’s team was finally able to prove that this was the case, and that is why Sinner avoided a major sanction and only lost the money and points he had collected at the California Masters 1000 tournament.
The truth is that Sinner and his team have long known about the double positive for this abuse of office, as he was sanctioned twice in April (though the disqualification was lifted thanks to Sinner’s appeal), But the player still hasn’t decided to do without the services of Naldi and Ferrara, even now, as soon as the matter became public knowledge. Corrierre dello Sport comments that Yannick had been away from his fitness coach and physiotherapist for some time, but only now has he decided to part ways for good.
