​Dana Safta (ENT doctor and doctor of medical sciences) talked about the pills that Simona Halep takes every day. The anti-doping control that took place during the US Open 2022 (with the substance roxadustat) was positive for our athlete, and now she is temporarily suspended. The ex-WTA leader faces up to 4 years of disqualification.

Simona Halep takes Eutirox 50 mcg and birth control pills every day

In an intervention for Antena 3, Dana Safta talked about the pills that Simona Halep takes every day. He also specified, among other things, the dates of the last anti-doping tests to which the former leader of the WTA hierarchy was subjected.

“Simona’s brother told me that during 6 years, Simona passed 106 anti-doping tests. On September 21, he took another test in Romania, which turned out to be negative. On October 7, he was given another test, also negative.

I have Simona’s consent to tell you that she has been on Euthyrox 50 mcg daily and birth control pills. The nose job went great, if he had been on Roxadustat he would have been at risk of thrombosis.

I asked Simona what she did with the water bottles in the locker room. She said she always closes them and puts them in her bag. They don’t put him in any bed, but nobody could do something like that either… put something in his bottle,” Antena 3’s Dana Safta.

“I have known Simona for several years, our connection was a doctor-patient 8-9 years ago, and from this arose friendship, emotional relationships and medical consultation, which, of course, I did, because she trusted me and I was right in that , what I needed to do for her medically, and then of course helping her confidently overcome her emotional state and whatever I could give her as moral support.

Of course, I cannot for a moment accept the idea that Simona deliberately swallowed Roxadustat. It is impossible.

Knowing her so well and knowing, first of all, how she takes care of her body, and whenever there was a desire and whenever she had a prescription for a trivial virus, we evaluated her prescription according to what the anti-doping list allowed us.

Negligence on her part and the team is excluded, because the team is interested in helping her, not hindering her, not destroying her. Therefore, I will never be able to accept this hypothesis. I got to know this team,” he concluded Dr. Dana Saftaaccording to the cited source.
