Daniil Medvedev said he hoped that the prohibition of doping Jannik Sinner would “make precedents” so that other players could reach settlements similar to the anti-doping authority in the future.
Sinner Grand Slam Champion Three times receive a prohibition of three months directly From the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on Saturday.
The number one world was previously released from errors after Two positive drug tests Last year, but Wada appealed the decision to the Arbitration Court for sports.
Wada initially looked for a ban of up to two years but reached an agreement after receiving an Italian player accidentally contaminated by a prohibited substance and “did not mean to cheat”.
“I hope the next few times, the players will be able to do that,” Medvedev said number eight Russia.
“I hope it will create a precedent where everyone will have the opportunity to defend themselves better than before.
“If not, if not possible, it will be strange.”
Wada said that he had signed a settlement agreement with Sinner for a shorter prohibition based on the provisions of 10.8.2 in his code.
A spokesman told BBC Sport on Saturday: “This provision was introduced to the code in 2021. Since then it has been used dozens of times for cases of extraordinary circumstances like this.
“Considering that there are thousands of cases, it is not often used and is an exception rather than the rules but there are many precedents for this.”
