American journalists First Sportz write that Simona has a chance to get into the main draw of Roland Garros only if she is found innocent.

Simona Halep still has hope of playing at Roland Garros as she could receive a wildcard into the qualification draw if she is found not guilty of doping.

According to our information, the source of the drug was identified by Laboratoire Antidopage Francais (LADF), the firm hired by the 2019 Wimbledon champion to analyze her urine samples.

According to the LADF, Roxadustat does not appear as an ingredient on the label of the oral supplements Halep uses.

This created a new complication for WADA, as the ingredients in the dietary supplement were not detected by their methods of identifying banned products.

Tests taken before and after Halep’s first-round match at the US Open, except for one that detected the presence of a banned drug, came back negative. This strengthens Simona Halep’s arguments.” – they informed.
