Since the end of October, the career and life of Simona Halep has been greatly shaken by a positive test of anti-doping control conducted at the US Open 2022.
A positive test for Roxadustat earned Simona an indefinite ban, and the Romanian is fighting to prove her innocence, with the idea of getting as little punishment as possible.
John Millman believes that Simona Halep is innocent
John Millman is another player in the chain who has come to the defense of Simona Halep following the doping scandal involving Konstantinian.
The reaction of the winner of six Grand Slam tournaments to the doping case of Simona Halep
In his official Twitter, the Australian, who at one time was in the top 50 in the ATP hierarchy, expressed his opinion about Simona’s situation.
“In general, I don’t like TUEs (therapeutic use exemptions) in professional sports. They open too many loopholes to legally use drugs. It’s a very frustrating situation for those who really need it, like here.
However, it has long been known that if you want to use doping, you get a therapeutic use permit.
To continue, this is one of the reasons I believe Simona Halep is innocent. If he really wanted to enhance his performance with a banned substance, he could claim a therapeutic use exemption.
I firmly believe that she is innocent and I hope that she will be back on the field as soon as possible.” John Millman noted.
In general, I really dislike TUE in professional sports. Opens too many loopholes for “legal drug use” – very unfortunate for those with legitimate needs, as is likely the case here. However, it has long been known that if you want to dope, get a TUE.
