Simona Halep Receives 4-Year Ban From Tennis For Doping

• The ITIA (International Tennis Integrity Agency) has taken decisive action against two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep, handing her a four-year ban from professional tennis due to violations of the sport’s anti-doping program. This move follows Halep’s positive test for Roxadustat at the US Open last year, which led to her provisional suspension.

• The Integrity Agency stated that Halep had committed “intentional anti-doping violations,” a conclusion supported by the analysis of 51 blood samples collected as part of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) program.
