WADA pointed out that while both cases involved the same substance, the specific facts related to Barquero’s case were ‘very different’ to Sinner’s.


“The fundamental difference between the two is that Barquero’s version of how the substance entered her system was unconvincing in light of the evidence. In the Sinner case, the evidence clearly confirmed the athlete’s explanation,” WADA said.
