"Summoning sickness" is a property of a creature that is relevant only when the creature has not been under its current controller's, well, control since the beginning of his or her most recent turn. If a player gains control of a creature, that creature is affected by summoning sickness until that player begins his or her next turn.
This is why cards like Act of Treason give the creatures they steal haste. They'd be useless otherwise.
