Ahmad Nassar, the executive director of the PTPA (founded by Novak Djokovic to protect players’ rights), accused WTA of not condemning the “unfair” manner Simona Halep has been treated in justice. Halep hasn’t received a verdict on her Roxadustat doping case since last year’s US Open.
“Agree that it’s a disgrace. Patently unfair to @Simona_Halep, her family, team, and fans. However, I am not surprised that the tour hasn’t spoken out on this. The tours long ago abdicated their responsibilities towards the players here.
This is just one example of why claiming to adequately represent the players & tournaments simultaneously simply does not work. And one reason why player leaders decided to create @ptpaplayers in the mold of other sports,” Ahmad Nassar wrote on X.
