Italian world number one Jannik Sinner won the US Open in New York on Sunday .

Sinner was found to have low levels of clostebol - a banned anabolic steriod - in a doping case.

World-Anti Doping Agency ( Wada ) is "continuing to review" whether it will appeal against the ruling that Sinner bore no fault or negligence by an independent tribunal.

Italian tennis star Sinner twice tested positive for clostebol in March .

The anabolic steroid can be used to build muscle mass and enhance athletic performance.

Sinner was inadvertently contaminated with the anabolic steriod by physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi .

The 23-year-old is the fifth Italian tennis player to be found positive for the drug.
