Simona Halep has finally caught a break as her doping ban was significantly reduced after she appealed to the Court of Arbitration of Sport. After 17 months of agony, she was able to breathe a sigh of relief. The ordeal was made worse for the Romanian player as she found out that her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, and his team were the ones who put her in the situation.

Since then, Halep has opened up about the betrayal she felt from coach Mouratoglou. Now, a while after the reveal, Halep has deleted all the Mouratoglou-related posts from her Instagram handle.

Simona Halep is beginning a new phase of her tennis career as she eliminates every bit of past “error”

Halep’s career was under much uncertainty when her case went live. She has not played tennis professionally since the 2022 US Open and had to appeal her case to wipe her slate clean. After some investigation, it was revealed that the banned substance entered her blood due to severe negligence by her coaching team. Mouratoglou, her former coach, revealed that she was taking a Keto MCT supplement which was contaminated with Roxadustat.

She was understandably livid as the situation came to light. The two-time grand slam champion went on to break all ties with Mouratoglou following his statement, and she has also wiped all trace of him from her Instagram profile.

“twenty-five years of career destroyed” for “this error” – Simona Halep opens up on Mouratoglou’s mistake

In an exclusive interview with Paris Match, Simona Halep was asked if she blamed Patrick Mouratoglou for introducing her to the supplement. The 2019 Wimbledon champion answered, “I’m sure it wasn’t done intentionally and I’m grateful he admits the mistake was his and his team’s. Yes, they are the ones who gave me this food supplement. And for this error – their error – I am the only one to pay the high price: twenty-five years of career destroyed!”

When the initial punishment was handed out to the 32-year-old Romanian player, she imagined her career to be done for. She also stated that she was not aware of the possible contamination of the supplement provided by her team.

It is safe to say that Mouratoglou is no longer on the good side of Halep. The Romanian player is livid at the fault and almost saw her career end right before her eyes. However, Halep will focus on moving on now and attaining her lost glory.
