From Wednesday to Friday, Simona Halep was fighting against a four-year doping ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland. After three days of hearings, the WTA player left the court feeling optimistic about the outcome.
“I had the chance to show my defence and I really believe that the truth is going to come out,” Halep told reporters outside the court. Her lawyer, Howard Jacobs, who has represented Maria Sharapova and Marin Cilic in the past, stated that the Court of Arbitration for Sport had listened to her arguments, but it remains uncertain when the decision will be announced.
