According to the document, Simona used the supplement Schinoussa in 2022, during the US Open: “She later tested positive for roxadustat, a substance not listed on the product label.”

In the complaint, the lawyers of the Romanian woman accuse Quantum Nutrition of “negligence and an impressive level of negligence” and note that over the past year and a half, “Simon went through a period of torment and humiliation, she lost her zest for life.”

Regarding the compensation, the amount of 10 million dollars is specified in the document.
