Simona Halep is eagerly awaiting the verdict of the Sport Resolutions tribunal after being heard in her doping case. The former world leader revealed the details of the hearing and expressed disappointment at the delay in the decision.

Simona Halep: “It is impossible to wait so long for a decision”

In an interview with Eurosport, Simona talked about the joy of resuming training, as well as how hard it is to wait in the absence of official tournaments.

“It was quite a complicated case. At the auditions, my team was incredible along with all of our experts. Bohdan Stoica, a lawyer from Romania, along with Howard (#Jacobs) from America were also lawyers. They were strong and my defense was very good. The truth is, it’s always easier when you tell the truth, and I had a feeling that everything would be fine.

I expected to get a solution much faster. As far as I know, it is three weeks in the regulations. It’s been two months now and I haven’t received any news about the decision. I’ve been training hard, I’ve also been posting to the media because I wanted to share with my fans that I’m motivated and want to get back on the pitch as soon as possible.

I received word from my attorney that I will not receive a decision until the end of August. I am very disappointed with this. It’s almost impossible to wait that long for a decision, but as I said, there’s not much I can do and I’ll have to wait.” said Simona Halepfor Eurosport.
