Alexander Zverev for Clay
It’s a weird situation because first he is cleared, then WADA wanted to have a second look at it. To me, I think, you know, there’s two options. Either you’re at no fault and you should get no suspension at all. Because if you have no fault, then you have no fault. You shouldn’t get punished. But if you do have fault, then I think for taking steroids, three months is not a suspension.
