The Italian was previously cleared of any wrongdoing following the two positive tests which showed the banned steroid clostebol in his system in March 2024.
He was inadvertently contaminated by his physiotherapist who treated a cut on his hand with a spray bought over the counter which contained the substance.
However, the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the decision from the International Tennis Integrity Agency and planned to take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
But now Sinner has accepted a three-month ban after reaching a settlement with WADA.
