The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has reduced the suspension imposed on Simona Halep for two breaches of anti-doping regulations. He reduced her from four years to nine months, which she served.
After three days of hearing at the beginning of February, the sports court ruled that the Romanian’s positive test came from a ‘contaminated supplement’, and that the anomalies in her biological passport could be linked to a ‘surgical operation’, according to a communicated.
The former world No. 1 can therefore return to the courts from now on. Aged 32, Simona Halep has two Grand Slam titles to her name, Roland-Garros 2018 and Wimbledon 2019.
