Simona Halep has confided how much she has lost trust in people, after what happened around her controversial doping ban. The Romanian tennis player is defending herself against the harsh accusations made against her by the official bodies.
And not only. Several tennis players, former tennis players, media and insiders have questioned her honesty and her sporting and moral integrity. We at Tennis World USA, unlike many, believe in giving the benefit of the doubt, without judging any party involved, until there is clear light on this controversial situation.
Meanwhile, the former tennis player Chris Evert also intervened in Halep’s defense and expressed his closeness to the Romanian via social media. “Simona’s appeal is expected in February. For my part, I believe she is innocent.
Yes, she had roxadustat in her system, but she gave her whole life to her coach and her team, who monitored her career, its nutrition and its management. I believe she is innocent,” wrote the American legend. The former American champion, winner of 18 Grand Slams, is a point of reference for WTA tennis players and she never shies away from expressing her thoughts and protecting the players.
