Suspension
September 12, 2023
Halep has been handed a four-year suspension for doping, according to Reem Abulleil of The National.
ANALYSIS
Halep tested positive for a banned substance back in October and was charged with a second anti-doping violation in May. The ITIA gave its verdict Tuesday, handing her a four-year suspension after three independent Athlete Passport Management Unit experts determined "likely doping" was the cause of irregularities in her biological passport. Because the suspension dates back to her first positive test in October, Halep can return to competition again on Oct. 7, 2026, when she will be 35 years old.
