Simona Halep Suspended for a Positive Doping Test (The New York Times)

Halep, the ninth-ranked player in women's tennis, tested positive for an anemia drug.

At that time, she announced that her 2022 season was over and that she was looking forward to rejoining tennis in 2023. In early September, Halep announced that she had nasal surgery to remove what had been a significant blockage in her nose. In her post on Twitter, she stated that “the idea of cheating never crossed my mind once” and that it went against her values. She entered the French Open in good form but lost her first-round match after suffering what she later described as a panic attack during a three-set battle with Zheng Qinwen of China. Roxadustat is on the list of banned substances because it artificially stimulates hemoglobin and red blood cell production, which is a technique for players to gain more endurance. Halep, a 31-year-old Romanian, is currently ranked ninth in the world.
