"In my opinion, they have finished Simona's career, and someone has to answer here. How much can Simona ask for? 100 million, 200? Who is the culprit? Someone, however, is guilty, but it is sad what is happening to Simona.”

Yeah, and her name is Simona Halep.

“I don't compare it to the fact that we are Romanians or I don't know what.”

Oh, of course. No one thought it had anything to do with both of you being Romanian. Never crossed our minds.

“When someone slaps you, if you don't slap them back - my father taught me 80 years ago - it means you're a servant and only on your knees."

Noted.

Simona Halep posted this a few minutes ago on her Instagram page,

" Today I found out that the decision in my case. which was expected this week, will be further delayed. This is terrible disappointing, as I have consistently said that all I ask for is to be judged. It is hard to explain the emotional toll that all of these delays have had and continue to have on me".

She’s protesting too much. These things move as quick as they can, and she knows that..

Agree, the more she complains, they will take their time, she just needs to 'chill' no news is good news

Well not even that, they’ll go as fast as is proper, but she knows that. Her complaints are empty posturing, trying to position herself in some way as being hard done by them..

She has always come over as being 'hard done by' just my opinion

I have a hunch that Simona was set up by her ex husband.

you think he's that petty to ruin her like that? I dunno about that one.

Yes..I think maybe they were struggling in their marriage,and he was probably cheating on her too.I just think he spiked her drink when she was not paying attention.

that would account for maybe one failed test. There are issues w/ her bio passport which suggest long term doping

So Halep got her verdict. 4 years quarentine...

Well I am not surprised that her ban is that long, with 2 separate doping bans,. She does have the right to appeal, I know she will, lets see what new evidence she can offer in her defence., if her appeal is squashed her career is over, quite frankly it will be hard for her to come back even if her appeal is shortened.

She should give Serena that Wimbledon title.

Well there was a call before saying if she was found guilty she should hand back her GS titles etc, that is out of her hands, that would be up to the ITF, lets see what kind of defence she puts up in her appeal and if her 4 years will be shortened quite frankly her career is over

I think Simona Halep has other urgent matters to attend to first, like trying to clear her name, before baby making

The Athletes Biological (ABP) was approved in 2009. "This first version contained a standardized approach to the profiling of individual Athlete Haematological variables for the detection of blood doping. In 2012, the initial system was complemented with the Steroidal Module, which was launched to established longitudinal profiles of an athlete's steroid variables measured in urine samples".
This means that the ITIA has been looking at her ABP for the last 8 years at least. Hard to tell when alleged changes occurred in Halep's ABP.
