Rennae Stubbs has spoken out about the affair involving Patrick Mouratoglou, who revealed in an Instagram post that he was responsible for the doping ban relating to the Romanian tennis player Simona Halep. “This collagen was contaminated, there was no way of knowing.
But I feel responsible for what happened because it’s my team. So basically I’m the one who brought this collagen to her,” said the Frenchman on Instagram. During The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast, the former Serena Williams coach said Mouratoglou would have made these assertions in an attempt to influence the CAS in order to have a less severe verdict for Simona, disqualified for four years.
Rennae Stubbs expressed on Mouratoglou’s words
“I have no insight into why he decided to come out now but I agree with you, it is too little too late. And unless he’s saying it now with the CAS, the arbitration whatever you call it, coming out where they have to go in front of them and hopefully they can get a little bit more of a lenient sentence, and he’s trying to put it out now for that particular court battle.
Maybe he thinks it might sway CAS into saying yup, but a lot of people are like her passport…
