Novak Djokovic: "You can almost affect the outcome if you are a top player, if you have access to the top lawyers" The code is set to change from 2027 , meaning cases where players have failed tests but were deemed not to be at fault - like Sinner - could be punished from a reprimand to a two-year ban.

Sinner 's former physio and trainer were both deemed responsible for clostebol entering the player's system - have not faced any action from authorities.

Jannik Sinner is allowed to return to competitive action on 5 May .

The Italian will be allowed to play in the Italian Open in Rome and the French Open at the end of the month .

Sinner has been 'resting' since the news of his ban emerged a week ago .
