>> Simona Halep’s WTA rival praises ITIA for disqualifying the Romanian

Simona Halep was forced to return $80,000

The announcement of the 4-year ban was made by the ITIA (International Tennis Integrity Agency) on Tuesday, September 12.[pentruIntegritateînTenis)încursulzileidemarți12septembrie[pentruIntegritateînTenis)încursulzileidemarți12septembrie

ITIA required Halep to return all money earned between March and October 2022.

We’re talking $1,914,022, but the Independent Sports Tribunal disagreed.

Thus, Simona will have to return only the money won for participating in the US Open 2022: she was eliminated in the inaugural round by Daria Snigur and received a prize of 80 thousand dollars.

Simona Halep’s last appeal will be the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.

If the 4-year disqualification remains in force, then the ex-WTA leader can theoretically return to the tennis court on October 6, 2026. Halep will be 35 years old at that time.

Know:

  • The news that Simona Halep was temporarily suspended for doping appeared on Friday, October 21, 2022.
  • Simona’s case was heard by Sport Resolutions, an independent tribunal in London that hears doping cases in white sport. Halep was disqualified for 4 years.
  • Simone has only one appeal: the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.
