Simona Halep was preparing her comeback, trying to influence the authorities, writes Le Figaro

Simone posted several videos from the gym, and French journalists believe that she did it to get a favorable response as soon as possible.

“There is no miracle for Simona Halep. Suspended due to a positive doping test, the former world No. 1 has not yet lifted her disqualification and will not participate in the 2023 US Open.

In late July, Simona Halep saw her name added to the list of players at the US Open, the final Grand Slam of the year. But his hope was short-lived. On Monday, the former world leader was automatically removed from the list.

Halep has been suspended from all competition since October 2022 after testing positive for Roxadustat at the last edition of the US Open. What is even worse, a violation was reported in the athlete’s biological passport.

Despite these things, the athlete, currently ranked 1,140th in the world, was hopeful that her suspension would be lifted. In recent weeks, he has been preparing his return to the competition, probably also in an attempt to influence the authorities.

In the end, nothing changed. Simona Halep remains suspended until the final decision. The 31-year-old player has not played a single match on the circuit since August 29, 2022″ – Le Figaro.
