    This is so unfair towards Sinner. All the top tennis
    players are very heavily juiced, so it makes no sense to
    punish only one of them.

    This isn't a punishment,

    No, it's not. Sinner got a "period of ineligibility". Not a suspension.
    WADA accepted Sinner's explanations for the events, "Imma innocent!",
    and didn't even go for a punishment. WADA wanted to gently remind Mr
    Sinner that it is he, not his entourage, where the buck stops.

    That's the official shuck and jive. Do what you wish with it.

    Meaning that the WADA knows it's now irrelevant and is just making a
    last stand?
