After all, the Romanian is still the 2019 champion.
The cardigan worn by Simona Halep during her winning run to the 2019 Wimbledon title has been exposed by the All England Club, which showed its respect for the Romanian champion, despite the fact that Simona is still accused of doping.The cardigan was photographed by a Romanian Instagram fan page.”Love to see this!
While not able to be at Wimbledon in person, it makes me very happy to see that they have her dress and cardigan she wore from when she beat Serena in 2019 on display. She may be gone for now, but she isn’t forgotten,” the WTA Romanian Instagram page captioned the photo.
Simona Halep and her doping case
Simona Halep currently awaits the verdict following her hearing at the end of June.
The verdict should come around the second week of July.”She was heard today, but she will be heard tomorrow as well.In about two weeks we should have a first verdict. The moment that was delayed has happened. Together with the lawyers, Simona presented her arguments.
We will see what the decisions will be. Generally, two-year suspensions are given here, then the decisions are appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. They are generally halved there. The term of provisional suspension is reduced, and that provisional suspension is from November 2022,” Digi Sport’s Dragos Suciu revealed after Halep’s hearing.Initially, Simona was unsatisfied by the way the ITIA treated her case.
“Not only they are killing my reputation, but also me as a professional player, and I don’t even talk about the consequences on my mental health.This disrespect of the rules by the ITF (ITIA) regarding the fast hearing I am entitled to have, is so disrespectful to me that I have no more words,” Halep said in a statement in late May.
