‘If You Took Her Honor… Kill Her!!’ – Billionaire Ex-husband Vouches for Simona Halep’s Innocence Following Her ‘Betrayal’ Comment Over Provisional Ban

Simona Halep, the renowned Romanian tennis player, has been suspended after failing a drug test at the US Open. The International Tennis Integrity Agency has announced sanctions against the tennis star.

The two-time Grand Slam champion has denied that she knowingly consumed the banned substance. Despite their recent split, her billionaire ex-husband shared and expressed his support for the suspended player.

Simona Halep is temporarily banned from all WTA tournaments

The Romanian tennis player tested positive for the banned substance Roxadustat. The Romanian is considered one of the best players of the last decade, achieving the year-end number one rank in the WTA rankings in 2017 and 2018.

The ban is a massive blow to Halep as she was rediscovering her form after struggling with injuries for a couple of years. Simona Halep has become ineligible to compete in the WTA Tour as part of the temporary suspension. Fans and her ex-husband have provided their support during this difficult time. Halep married her now ex-husband, Macedonian billionaire Toni Iuruc in 2021.

In support of his former wife, the billionaire was quoted as, “I’m shocked, I haven’t recovered for an hour, I’m shocked and shocked again! I can not believe that. I have known Simona for three years, of which at least two are in the circuit, and I swear to you that this girl, my ex-wife, is obsessed with only one thing: honour! You can take anything from Simona, if you took her honour, her fairness, kill her! She is no longer human!”

Iuruc further added, “I don’t know what happened there with that test, but it’s probably a mistake. Simona would not have done such a thing even if you had cut off her hand to stop playing tennis. Simona Halep would never cheat, her career is her badge and I know her best…” (Translated from Google translate).

After the news broke, Halep took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the ban.

Halep’s bitter loss at the 2022 US Open match

Simona Halep ended the US Open campaign with a loss in the first round. Halep lost to Daria Snigur in three sets, 6-2, 0-6, 6-4. Halep made several unforced errors during the match against her unfancied opponent. It was a disappointing loss for the Romanian, as she was in a good run of form leading up to the tournament.

With the ban set to take effect immediately, it looks like the US Open was the 2-time Grand Slam champion’s last appearance on the Tour. However, as Halep has denied any wrongdoings, we have to wait and see if she challenges the decision.
