Simona Halep Doping Trial: Major Morale Boost for Former No.1 as Ex-Coach Rushes to Extend Support

Simona Halep‘s ex-coach comes forward to raise his support for the world’s former number-one tennis player. This tennis star shocked the whole fraternity after a drug test found a banned substance in her body. After that, Halep’s professional tennis career went downward spiral since the International Tennis Integrity Agency banned her from attending matches.

Halep was accused of taking Roxadustat, a banned drug that helps to enhance performance. It happened back in the 2022 US Open tournament. Now that Simona Halep is appealing to the court and fighting for her rights in tennis, her ex-coach extended his support.
