Simona Halep has been cleared by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) from a doping ban, enabling her to resume her tennis career immediately. The former world No.1 has already arrived in Miami, with a positive attitude and eager to play the March 19-31 Miami Open.
The 32-year-old Halep is gearing up to compete in her first tournament since the 2022 US Open. Following a positive urine sample for the prohibited substance roxadustat, the Romanian player faced a lengthy process to prove that the doping was unintentional, rather, that it was a result of a contaminated supplement.
