Fans called out Piers Morgan for wishing luck to Jannik Sinner ahead of the Six Kings Slam finals, despite having criticized the Italian earlier during his drug ban ordeal. Jannik Sinner tested positive for clostebol in 2024, but was still allowed to compete at the US Open until accepting the suspension for three months in 2025.Jannik Sinner, the then-No. 1, was administered the banned substance by his physiotherapist through a spray containing clostebol. The Italian failed two drug tests in March last year, but the provisional suspension was lifted after his urgent appeal. Since he played at the US Open despite the allegations and won the title, Morgan lambasted him, writing:"*after failing TWO drugs tests. (Fixed it for you)”Later in 2025, after the settlement with WADA, the 24-year-old accepted the suspension, but Morgan was still critical of how punishments in sports can be negotiated."A ‘settlement’? I didn’t realise drug offence punishments in sport could be negotiated… what a joke.”Cut to the Six Kings Slam, ahead of the much-anticipated final between Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, Piers Morgan posed with the players and wished them luck with a slight wordplay."Only one Sinner here… and for once, it’s not me! Good luck in tomorrow’s #sixkingsslam final, gentlemen.."On seeing the post, fans traced back to the time when Morgan criticized Sinner for his doping ordeal. One fan heaved a sigh of relief that the former didn't cross paths with Djokovic in Riyadh."The same Piers Morgan who criticised Jannik’s Wimbledon win, now happily posing with him. So glad Novak didn’t bump into him in Riyadh. Nauseating stuff"Emma @emmylobzLINKThe same Piers Morgan who criticised Jannik’s Wimbledon win, now happily posing with him.
