In late 2022, Simona Halep tested positive for roxadustat while participating in the US Open and had abnormalities in her biological passport. Since the beginning of October 2022, the tennis player has been temporarily suspended from participation in competitions by the ITIA.
Halep previously said she never thought about doping and, after the scandal with Maria Sharapova and meldonium, she expressed criticism of it.
The tennis player’s disqualification will last until October 6, 2026. According to preliminary information, the former world number one plans to appeal.
