Christian Tudor Popescu is sure that Simona Halep (31 years old, 50 WTA) did not use doping on purpose. The journalist also makes a risky promise.

It has been 10 months since Simona Halep’s last WTA match. After testing positive for Roxadustat at the 2022 US Open, the two-time Grand Slam champion presented her defense to independent organization Sports Resolutions. A verdict is expected in the near future.

“The stain on her life and career cannot be erased, although, again, I don’t think it’s her fault, and she didn’t do it knowingly. I tell you clearly, if it is proven that Simona Halep deliberately introduced doping into her body, I will no longer write anything about tennis!

So, I didn’t understand either people or sports, if Simona did something like that! I can’t believe it because I’ve watched her for so many years and I’ve never seen her try to cheat while playing. “, – said Christian Tudor Popescu.
