Dragos Luscan is one of the important characters in Romanian sports, a physiotherapist who over time has worked with Simona Halep, Horia Tekeu, Florin Mergea and now with David Popovic.

In an intervention for Prosport, Luskan talks about the doping case involving Simona Halep and launches a possible option.

Trace amounts of roxadustat were detected in Simona’s 2022 US Open sample.

Luskan says that in sports it also happens that a drug or drink can contain traces of banned elements (substances that are considered doping).

Excessive use of such a drug can sometimes lead to the following aspect: the presence of a prohibited substance is detected in an anti-doping analysis.

Dragoš Luskan wants to say the following: if Simona took medication that contained roxadustat (and it was not on the prohibited list) and used it repeatedly, there is a possibility that this substance (even if in small quantities) will be against – doping control.

“There is a possibility that sometimes you use certain substances that are not on the list (not banned), but if you use them in higher doses, they may appear during anti-doping control,” explained Dragos Luskan, according to the aforementioned sources
