Simona Halep, 33 years old, is boiling in her own juice, after the recent doping cases, that of the Italian Jannik Sinner and the Polish Iga Swiatek, treated gently by the world forums.
Halep is a nervous wreck
Being in training camp for the new season in Dubai, where she owns an apartment, the athlete from Constanța says she cannot sleep during this period. This after she was harshly punished for negligence, while the current world leaders in women’s and men’s tennis were treated leniently, receiving a month’s suspension each.
“And I can’t sleep”
“I felt that they (No. – ITIA) were unfair to me before, but now it is even more so. I was so angry and so sad when I saw the situation. It is simply unacceptable, from my point of view!
Yes, and I can’t sleep. I lost sleep for two years during the process. Then I recovered. And now, after (what happened), for a few days, yes, I lost him again. All negative thinking, negative thoughts, is not easy to manage.
I’ve heard some people say that we didn’t discover the contamination sooner. But the substance (No. – Keto MCT) that I had was so hard to find. You get it in China or somewhere else, I don’t know exactly, and it took time to get it delivered so that it could do the test. It wasn’t my fault because I didn’t want to find it, you know what I mean.
I said, “If in the end you think I’m guilty, take the points back and all the money and everything, but let me play,” because I wanted to keep the pace. I have asked for this about two or three times, but now (No. – Sinner and Swiatek) were able to play. The player, I don’t want to give the name, you know who I’m talking about, she was suspended for three weeks, then she played two tournaments, and then she got another suspension. what is this I mean, I don’t understand. So I feel it is not right”, said Simona Halep for the British publication The Telegraph.
