NEW DELHI: The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has initiated hearings for the appeal filed by former Wimbledon and French Open champion Simona Halep against a doping suspension that poses a threat to her esteemed career.
The 32-year-old Romanian athlete has been under provisional suspension since October 2022 after testing positive for roxadustat, a banned substance known to enhance the production of red blood cells. The positive test occurred during the U.S. Open held in the same year.
