Sorana Kirstea, Simona Halep’s message of support: ‘She will never touch any banned substance’

It is known that the relationship between Halep and Kirstea has been cold since the junior period, but Sorana wanted to show support for her compatriot during one of the most difficult moments of her career.

“Although we are not the best of friends, I have known Simona well enough for decades to firmly believe that she would never voluntarily and in good faith touch a doping substance.

Tennis stands for fair play and puts rivalries aside. She’s a great player who I think deserved to win.

I hope she fights to bring the truth to light for both herself and our beloved sport. WADA is a highly professional organization that will help her solve this situation” – Sorana Kirsteaon Instagram.
