The Court of Arbitration for Sport has updated the schedule of meetings for the coming months on its official website, and now the case of Simona Halep (suspended from tennis for 4 years due to doping) has appeared on the list.

Simona Halep will be heard at the CAS on February 7-9, 2024

CAS has published a list of all the cases it has on its agenda in the coming weeks, and Simone’s name appears on the calendar for the Lausanne forum.

Thus, TAS will analyze the 4-year disqualification imposed by the independent sports tribunal in the doping case of Simona Halep in the period from February 7 to 9, 2024.

It will be recalled that Halep appealed to the CAS 4-year disqualification for doping on October 24 this year.

The Swiss court said at the time that the former WTA leader had asked to overturn the decision of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) and “reduce” its sanctions.

What you need to know about Simona Halep’s doping case:

  • 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 suspended for 4 years for two separate violations of the Tennis Anti-Doping Program (TADP): the presence and use of the substance roxadustat in a urine sample collected after an anti-doping test conducted at the 2022 US Open (1) and a violation of her biological passport (2).
  • Simone has only one appeal: 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.
