Simona Halep cries double standards after ITIA slaps Iga Swiatek with one-month ban for failing dope test

Firstpost  

While world No 2 Swiatek will be free to play in a matter of days, with a majority of her one-month ban having been covered in provisional suspension, Halep had been slapped with a four-year ban by the ITIA that was later reduced to nine months following the CAS’ intervention. Former Wimbledon and French Open champion Simona Halep had been handed a four-year ban by the ITIA after testing positive for Roxadustat, a banned substance, during the 2022 US Open. AP Simona Halep, the former Wimbledon and French Open champion tennis player, has expressed dismay at the way Iga Swiatek’s doping case was handled compared to her own. It can only be bad will on the part of ITIA, the organisation that did absolutely everything to destroy me despite the evidence.” The International Tennis Integrity Agency announced on Thursday that the five-time major champion Swiatek accepted a one-month suspension after testing positive for the banned substance trimetazidine, a heart medication known as TMZ. How is it possible that in identical cases that happened at about the same time, ITIA has completely different approaches, to my detriment?” Swiatek’s case prompted men’s tennis player Nick Kyrgios, the 2022 Wimbledon runner-up, to post “OUR SPORT IS COOKED” on X, formerly known as Twitter.
