Ion Cyriak is convinced that Simona Halep did not use doping voluntarily

Simona Halep was banned from the 2022 US Open for 4 years after testing positive for Roxadustat after hearing her at the end of June.

The athlete from Romania will appeal to the TAS in the hope of softening or even canceling the punishment, and several people close to her have reported that she is with Simona.

Ion Cyriac, a well-known businessman and close friend of Simona Halep, reacted to Simona’s disqualification and emphasized that he is convinced that the Romanian did not consciously use doping.

“The solution is utopian. Yes, there were mistakes that were also made from the very beginning. It was necessary to ask everyone around, starting with dad, mom, puppy, cat, trainer, physiotherapist or psychological coach…

Simona Halep did not volunteer! I also put my hand in the fire. I have not commented and will not comment much because this is such a sensitive issue that I have seen it once or twice this year. I put my hand on her shoulder and told her that we are all with her and take courage.

But for someone to make fun of her life, the career of someone who was number one… There are question marks. I am one of the 5-6 who were delegated to run WADA in the 90s and I think it is a good body if it follows a good, logical and normal work. I myself said that even if the athlete is held with his mouth open by three, and the fourth one shoves him in the throat, it is still positive!

But what are we talking about here? About the many-day delay. How to extend a man’s life for a year? Either you’re stupid and don’t know what it’s about and let others in, or if it’s not something suspicious… Why didn’t they say “Stop!” the day it was discovered? Do you suspect? And the suspect is allowed to continue his activities until he is found guilty. You’re not guilty until you know why.” – reported Ion Cyriak, Digi Sport reports.
