wo-time Grand Slam Champion Simona Halep handed four-year Ban for Doping
Two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep has been banned for four years following breaches of the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme.
An independent tribunal determined the thirty one-year-old Romanian had committed intentional anti-doping violations.
Halep tested positive for the use of roxadustat at last year's US Open.
She was also found guilty of using an unspecified prohibited substance or method in 2022 after irregularities were found in her biological passport.
The tribunal accepted Halep's argument she had taken a contaminated supplement, but decided that would not have resulted in the concentration of roxadustat found in her urine sample.
