Alize Cornet demands justice for Simona Halep after verdict postponed Sport Resolutions

Simona Halep is awaiting a verdict in the context of the doping scandal in which she appears, but the ex-world leader has been postponed again.

Recently, John Millman, a former quarterfinalist at the US Open, said that he was very outraged by the situation that the athlete from Romania was going through, and called on her colleagues on the circuit to support Halep.

The first to respond to the tennis player’s message was Alize Cornet, the same one with whom Simona Halep met 6 times in a direct match.

“I can’t disagree with you John! What is happening to Simone is simply disgusting. We must put an end to this crazy situation as soon as possible. I also don’t quite understand why it’s so quiet around her. Justice for Simona!” – wrote Alize Kornet.

On Monday, the former WTA No. 11 released a new message in which she urged her colleagues to support Simona Halep.

“Come on, people, let’s unite. This case has gone too far and too long – ITIA + ITF! The tennis world only wants what is right. We want #JusticeForSimona.” – was a message from a French woman.

Even Ellen Perez, the former WTA No. 13, couldn’t ignore the situation Simona Halep is going through and informed the ITIA and the ITF.

“Whether you believe Simona Halep is innocent or not, every athlete deserves a fair and timely trial. The way the ITIA and ITF are handling this matter is flawed. I encourage other athletes to speak up because if you were in that situation, you would hope for the same.”

Know:

  • The news that Simona Halep was temporarily suspended for doping appeared on Friday, October 21, 2022.
  • Halep is temporarily suspended from tennis after testing positive for Roxadustat (conducted during the 2022 US Open). Later, Simona was also accused of “violations” in the biological sports passport.
  • Simona’s case is now being heard by Sport Resolutions, an independent court in London that hears doping cases in white sport.
  • However, if innocence cannot be proven, Simone has one more appeal: the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.
  • It will be recalled that the maximum suspension that Halep could receive is 4 years.
