Halep: "They absolutely wanted to destroy the last few years of my career".
Simona Halep, herself previously suspended for doping for almost a year and a half, reacted to the Iga Swiatek affair on her Instagram account: "I sit down and try to understand. It's really impossible for me to understand something like this.
I wonder why there is such a difference in treatment and judgment. I don't think there can be a logical answer.
It can only be ill will on the part of the ITIA, the organization that has done everything in its power to destroy me despite the evidence.
They absolutely wanted to destroy the last years of my career, they wanted something I could never have imagined wanting. I've always believed in the good, I've always believed in the fairness of this sport.
I've suffered, I'm suffering and I may always suffer from the injustice done to me. How is it possible that, in identical cases taking place at roughly the same time, the ITIA has taken completely different approaches to my detriment?
How could I accept that the WTA and the Players' Council would not give me back the ranking I deserved?
I've lost two years of my career, I've had many sleepless nights, thoughts, anxiety, unanswered questions..., but I've got justice.
It turned out to be a contamination and that the biological passport was a pure fabrication.
And I won something else: my soul is clean! I feel disappointment, sadness, frustration, but I don't feel anger, even today. [...]
We all know that the sun rises every morning for everyone, but it's good to wake up with your soul at peace! And that's what I am. I'm happy and proud of what I am.
