Simona Halep suspended for positive doping test taken at US Open

[MargaretMcAleer]

Simona Halep has sought an emergency hearing for her doping suspension after laboratory tests showed product contamination as the source of the prohibited drug Roxadustat's presence in her system.
The new findings on the supplements taken by the Romanian prompted the former World No 1 to ask the ITIA for the said hearing.

I think that even if she's innocent, she'll be suspected forever, which is unjust, but it's the way things are. Generally the players caught doping have far fetched excuses for why the gear got into their bodies...

I just had a thought, if Halep proves to be innocent, and allowed to play in 2023, that will be a dilemma for Patrick M, who said Halep after she had nose surgery, after the USA, and shut down her season, Halep gave Patrick M the okay to coach Rune? I dont believe that rubbish at all, Patrick M loves to big note himself at any given chance, always tries to 'self promote' himself.Also I remember Kskate saying to me Halep was going to move nearer to Patrick M academy in the south of France. Interesting times ahead for the 'wonder coach'.....agree with your thoughts even if Halep is proven innocent, there will always be a cloud of mistrust over her.

He’s a predator..

I have heard a lot of things said about Patrick M, 'a predator' is a first I must say

There were rumours he was a factor in haleps marriage break up. I think that’s not the first female tennis player he’s alleged to have been with. But he’s a predator for collecting star names around him too, and taking full credit for their games..

I heard those rumours, about Halep's marriage, which just lasted 1 year., yep there have been other rumours with other female tennis players in the past.

You know, with Patrick, I don’t even know if he’s a good coach. He’s great at drawing attention to himself, but whether he’s a good coach, I haven’t a clue…

As a coach I think he is good, even though Serena was a champion player when he was her coach, having someone new in your team does give you a new prospective and their partnership together did bring rewards, but he loves to 'promote himself' at any given chance, lol!

Maybe Simona is being banned for her association with Patrick M. @tossip

What's the latest on Halep and her appeal of her suspension

What's the latest on Haleo and her appeal of her suspension

Last I heard she had asked for a quicker hearing as she has new evidence that the 'pills' she took were contaminated? though still no date for the hearing as yet

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Where is Jennifer Capriati when we need her? I would love to see her rip Simona a new one like she did with Maria Sharapova in 2016.

When you’re guilty you sometimes sometimes fight tooth and nail too, but with added energy, if you get me drift…

Interesting read. Thanks for the post.
Halep seems honest. It is all taking too long as she says.

Don I agree with Halep this has taken too long,
If they are going to use provisional suspensions, they need to hold a hearing and reach a verdict in a timely manner. This is just common sense
The balance of power is entirely with the regulatory bodies because there is no collective bargaining for the players
