Two-time grand slam champion Simona Halep has been banned until October 2026 for two separate anti-doping rule violations, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) said on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old Romanian – a Wimbledon and French Open champion – has received a four-year ban, but has already served one year having been provisionally suspended since October 2022, after testing positive for banned blood-booster roxadustat at the US Open last year.
