The President of Riot Games John Needham issued a statement on 16th April denying Sinatraa’s completion of Conduct Training.
It’s been nearly a year since the Sentinels content creator Jay Won aka “Sinatraa” was banned from the professional VALORANT scene after allegations of sex abuse from his ex-girlfriend Cleo Hernandez.
Sintraa was hit with a six-month suspension from all VCT events due to his inability to comply with Riot’s official investigation.

Riot’s mail to Sinatraa
On January 12, 2022 Sinatraa received an email from Riot saying that he was “fully eligible to sign up and play in VCT.” Further, it said that Sinatraa did not require training since it was focused on “cooperating with investigations” and they felt that he knew most of the information covered in the training.
