Jannik Sinner rehires the fitness coach he fired for playing a role in his doping case
ROME (AP) — Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner has rehired Umberto Ferrara as his fitness coach nearly a year after firing him for his role in the top-ranked player's doping case. The move comes after Sinner recently removed fitness coach Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio from his team. "Umberto has played an important role in Jannik's development to date, and his return reflects a renewed focus on continuity and performance at the highest level,' a statement from Sinner's team said Wednesday. Last year, Sinner tested positive twice for a trace amount of an anabolic steroid in March; the case wasn't made public until August, shortly before the U.S. Open, which he ended up winning for the second of his four Grand Slam titles. He initially was completely cleared, based on the defense that he accidentally was exposed to the banned substance, Clostebol, via a massage from his then-physiotherapist, Giacomo Naldi. Sinner said his fitness trainer at the time, Ferrara, purchased a product in Italy and gave it to Naldi for a cut on Naldi's finger. Naldi then treated Sinner while not wearing gloves. Sinner then fired Naldi and Ferrara, and Ferrara was hired briefly by Matteo Berrettini, another Italian player. The World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the exoneration, and Sinner agreed to serve a three-month ban that ended right before the Italian Open in May of this year. ___

Report – Inter Milan Earmark Atalanta Star As Top Midfield Target & Brace Up For Several Departures
Atalanta star Ederson has become a genuine target for Inter Milan as the Serie A runners-up prepare for a midfield overhaul. Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the San Siro giants are ready to go all-out to sign the Brazilian. However, he could be the marquee arrival, especially considering Atalanta won't let him leave for less than €60 million. Therefore, Inter must complete some sales to raise funds. Inter Milan Identify Atalanta Ace Ederson as Top Midfield Target Despite already signing four players, Inter will not put the brakes on their summer spending. Instead, the Nerazzurri will invest hugely to lure Ederson to San Siro. But first, they must offload several players. Indeed, they've put Sebastiano Esposito, Kristjan Asllani, and Aleksandar Stankovic up for sale. Furthermore, Yann Bisseck could still leave Serie A amid growing interest from the Premier League. Then, there's the Denzel Dumfries case. The Dutchman's €30m release clause expires in mid-July. As such, Inter could still lose their standout wingback. Finally, Benjamin Pavard's future hangs in the balance, though he's closer to staying than departing.
