Simona Halep (32 years old) won the case in CAS, her disqualification for doping was reduced from 4 years to 9 months. But the victory in the court did not convince Brett Connors, the son of the legendary Jimmy Connors, who calls the tennis player from Constanta “a fraud”.

“The old saying goes that cheaters are always on the run and one step ahead of drug test takers. If we look at the history of tennis, few people have been caught using doping. And the ones caught aren’t big names, except for Sharapova, maybe two if we include Halep as well.

So, despite all the testing that exists in the sport, you’re telling me that only a few low-level players are doping?” commented Brett Connors, as quoted by tennisupdate.
