The former world No 1 had tested positive for a banned blood-booster at the US Open last year.
BUCHAREST: Romania’s former world No 1 Simona Halep said on Tuesday that she would appeal to sport’s highest court against the International Tennis Integrity Agency decision to ban her for four years after 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.” It added that 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.
“I hope that Simona will prevail at CAS which is the only Tribunal that is not controlled by the ITIA. I do not believe that the ITIA looked for the truth in Simona’s case and I do not believe that they treated her in a way that is acceptable.”Halep explained how she adjusted her nutritional supplements ahead of the hard court season last year following recommendations from “my trusted team and physiotherapist”.
“This group ignored the fact no prohibited substance has ever been found in my blood or urine samples with the sole exception of one August 29 positive test for roxadustat.”
