The other day, Simona Halep’s lawyer said that the athlete sued Schinoussa Superfoods, which supplied supplements contaminated with roxadustat, but the Canadian company is defending itself and denying this.

>> Simona Halep’s first move against the company that supplied her with Roxadustat-contaminated supplements

The Canadian company Schinoussa Superfoods on the case of Simona Halep: “If you test in your own private laboratory, it is normal to get the desired result”

GSP reporters traveled to Canada to speak with the owners of Quantum Nutrition Inc, the manufacturer of Schinoussa’s Keto MCT supplement.

Constantino Coveos, the brother of John Coveos (a prosecution witness in the Sport Resolutions trial), is questioning the tests carried out by the two-time Grand Slam winner’s defense and insisting his firm is innocent.

“You have seen the court documents. You saw there that there is nothing else about our company. All but what is written are thoughts. If the ITIA has made a final decision, it means that it is a final decision. There is no doubt!

If we started challenging ITIA decisions, can you imagine what would happen to all the other doping cases in history?! They would all explode. Essentially, we question the credibility of ITIA.

If everyone tested themselves in their own private lab, you’d get the result you wanted, right?! Dr. Alvarez, yes. And it ran some questionable tests if you read its documentation.

This is not true (not that they were sued). We cannot say much about the case, but we are in contact with our lawyers. Including what we discussed this morning. I don’t understand where these things come from” – Constantino Coveos for “Sportivna Gazeta”.
