00:00The issue is the inconsistency, is this transparency, we've been kept in the dark with Yannick's case.

00:06I mean, I'm not questioning whether, you know, he took the banned substance intentionally or not.

00:12You know, I believe in a clean sport, I believe that the player will do everything possible to be

00:16playing fair. And I've knew, I know Yannick since he was very young,

00:22so it doesn't strike me as somebody that would do such thing. But I've been really frustrated as

00:30most of the other players to see that we've been kept in dark for five months, you know,

00:34since he was receiving that news, which was, I think, April this year. And then the announcement

00:40was August, just before US Open. So ATP hasn't really talked in depth about it. Why have they

00:48kept that case away from the public? Right. And then we see, you know, Halep's case, for example,

00:56on the WTA tour. And now Iga Sviatik's case, you know, it's not a good image for,
