Simona Halep and Caroline Wozniacki are embroiled in a war of words, sparked by the Dane’s claim that players suspended for doping should not receive wild cards.
Andy Roddick, former great American tennis player, now a tennis analyst, took the same side as the Dane and drew attention to a fact regarding Simona.
“What throws things into a slightly strange area is Simona Halep’s statement in 2017, when Sharapova returned to the circuit after the doping scandal. “Never, under any circumstances, should someone who tests positive receive a wildcard,” said the Romanian .
I agree 100% with that and I also 100% agree with what Caroline said. You have to start from scratch, work hard to prove you deserve to be back, show us you’re clean.
It’s true, in Simona’s case, the team made a big mistake. From this point of view, I have sympathy for Halep, but that does not mean that you have to blindly trust the team, as she did.
She says “I didn’t dope”, when in fact it is correct “I didn’t dope on purpose”. Because the test was positive, we are only talking about the existence of the intention or the lack of it, because doping existed”, said the former US Open winner in his podcast, “Served with Andy Roddick”, quoted by Eurosport.
