Romanian tennis legend Ilie Nastase didn't mince his words when asked to comment on the doping case involving Iga Swiatek, who received a one-month suspension for doping.
Defending Simona Halep, who received a much heavier sanction, he declared: "We can see the difference. Such a low suspension is due to the fact that it's Poland. It's only one month! Romania is a Third World country, and Poland is a good country, a world leader. So, in the end, they didn't have any losers like us.
That's what happened to Simona Halep, she hadn't played for almost two years. It's disgusting. If Jannik Sinner wasn't world number 1 and was Romanian, how long do you think he would have been suspended? At least 2 or 3 years."
