Ion Cyriak believes that Simona Halep should have done the same as Andreja Redukana and checked the list of drugs compiled by her team

Although Simona Halep recently celebrated her 32nd birthday, there isn’t much to be happy about given that she received a 4-year ban from tennis.

In addition, the former world number one has been removed from the WTA rankings and is currently working with her lawyers on a claim at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.

Several athletes or former athletes cheered on Simona Halep, and Lucian Bute told her that the journey to prove her innocence would be difficult because it involved “lost time, lawyers, money and stress”.

Ion Cyriac also commented on Halep’s situation and highlighted what he believed to be the only mistake she would have made that could have prevented such a sanction.

“Things are getting complicated with Simona Halep, and she’s starting to prove herself more than anyone else. In my opinion, she has only one flaw. The fact that she did not check that her team wrote a list of the drugs she was taking there, as Andreia Reducanu did. Here her team had to justify why it was given to her, how it was given to her and so on.

You can’t tell me that on Friday it was negative and on Monday it was positive and this committee that evaluated it said, “We agree that it was wrong.” – said Ion Cyriak, as.ro reports.

• Simone has only one appeal: the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.
