Simona Halepwho was banned for four years for testing positive for Roxadustat in a surprise test before the 2022 US Open, returned to play yesterday after winning her appeal at the CAS.
However, there are dressing room colleagues like Caroline Wozniacki who They don’t think it’s good that Halep was able to play the Miami Open thanks to an invitation of the organization after it was found that he had taken a doping substance.
The Constanza tennis player responded to the Dane: “I’m not a cheater, I didn’t do anything wrong and I didn’t dope either. The CAS resolution clearly states that it was a contaminated supplement and not doping“.
Many compatriots in the stands
Simona wanted to thank the support of hundreds of fans who cheered her on during the first round match against Paula Badosa: “Just one person being negative to me is not that important because I have hundreds of people who are giving me love, so I will accept it.“.
The ‘no’ of Roland Garros
The situation is reminiscent of Maria Sharapova’s return to the courts after testing positive for Meldonium. Many tennis players were critical of the Russian-style ‘wild card’ and even Bernard Giudicelli, president of the French Tennis Federation, denied it in the 2017 edition of the French Open.
