Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek both tested positive for banned anabolic agent clostebol.

The World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA ) has appealed that decision, putting Sinner 's future in tennis in doubt.

Nick Kyrgios has gone so far as to say tennis is "cooked" and says tennis has a problem.

Many players fear they could similarly fall victim to inadvertent positive tests.

Court of Arbitration for Sport is set to deliver its ruling on WADA 's appeal in Sinner 's case in the coming months .

This decision could set a precedent for how inadvertent doping cases are handled, influencing not only tennis, but also other sports.

WADA is facing a financial crisis after the US government defaulted on its contribution to the organization in a stoush over its decision to clear Chinese swimmers to compete at the Tokyo Olympics .
