The former Wimbledon and French Open champion has been provisionally suspended since October for testing positive to a banned blood booster at last year’s US Open.
Romania’s former world No.1 Simona Halep says she will appeal to sport’s highest court against the International Tennis Integrity Agency decision to ban her until October 2026 for two separate anti-doping rule violations.
“I intend to appeal this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and pursue all legal remedies against the supplement company in question.” Halep strongly denies knowingly taking roxadustat and said she had evidence to show small amounts of the anaemia drug entered her system from a licensed supplement that was contaminated.
The ITIA said the ABP charge was also upheld as three independent experts were unanimous that “likely doping” was the explanation for the irregularities in Halep’s profile.
