Darren Cahill slams ITF and ITIA: Simona Halep deserves to know what she’s going to do with her life and career

In a post on Instagram, the Australian coach criticizes the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) and says that Simona deserves a response, as it has been more than a year since the last match played by the former WTA Leader.

“Another postponement. The details of this case will emerge later, but regardless of the verdict, the ITF and ITIA conducted the process horribly.

Caring for an athlete or their condition in a case that has been ongoing for more than 12 months and has not yet reached a verdict.

I respect the athlete testing program and am a proponent of due process, but this was far from fair.

Simone deserves what she does with her career or life. There is nothing he can do at the moment. No player should ever have to go through a process full of delays again.

The WTA and the Players’ Council must do more to guarantee players protection and the right to a faster resolution.” Darren Cahill on Instagram.

The cooperation of the two continued in 2020, in which tennis, however, was insignificant due to the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, Simona did not participate in the US Open.

2021 was a difficult year for Halep: she suffered an injury in Rome, then missed almost the most important part of the season: Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the Olympic Games in Tokyo, and on September 22 it became known about the break.
