The top court in global sport began hearing former Wimbledon and French Open champion Simona Halep’s appeal against a doping suspension that could end her career.
The 32-year-old Romanian arrived Wednesday at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne for three-day proceedings that she hopes will see her provisional suspension lifted.
Halep has been provisionally suspended since October 2022 after testing positive for roxadustat, a banned drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells, at the US Open that year.
Tennis anti-doping authorities also charged Halep with another doping offence last year due to irregularities in her athlete biological passport (ABP).
