To make clear the totally different doping instances involving Iga Swiatek and Simona Halep, ITIA government director Karen Moorhouse gave an interview to Tennis365, through which she defended herself from the barrage of accusations which have rained down on ITIA on account of alleged variations in therapy between the Polish and Romanian gamers.

Moorhouse careworn that the doping instances involving the 2 athletes are utterly totally different and due to this fact can’t be in contrast.

“The rules applied and the processes followed were the same for all tennis players. Each case is different and complex, so it is difficult to equate the doping cases of different players and make comparisons between them, because it is the details that make the difference. There is no similarity between what happened in the two cases.

CAS ruled that Halep took a contaminated collagen supplement, while in the case of Swiatek it was a regulated drug that she takes regularly. The level of guilt and responsibility of each is very different, since the Pole had no way of knowing about the possible contamination,” she defined.

Halep’s phrases on the doping case involving Swiatek didn’t go unnoticed. The Romanian believes that the Worldwide Tennis Integrity Company didn’t give her the identical therapy because the Pole.

“Why such a big disparity in treatment? I don’t find and I don’t think there is a logical answer to explain the difference in treatment. I can only think of a bad will of the ITIA, the organization that did everything to destroy me despite the evidence,” defined the Romanian participant.

Simona will return to the court docket in 2025 and has obtained a wild card for the principle draw of the WTA 250 match in Auckland. To earn the principle draw of the Australian Open, nonetheless, she should move the {qualifications}.

Moorhouse additionally claimed that each Jannik Sinner and Swiatek didn’t obtain particular therapy in comparison with gamers like Halep, after their failed anti-doping assessments. The Jannik and Iga instances have led to accusations from many sides, in response to which gamers with the next standing are handled extra leniently.

“Every case is different and each case is based on individual facts. Cases can also be quite complex, so it is not fair to look at two situations and make comparisons between two cases as the detail is always the key. Take Swiatek and Halep. The CAS tribunal found that Halep’s supplement was contaminated.

In Swiatek’s case, the contaminated product was a drug. So it was not unreasonable for a player to assume that a regulated drug contained what was written on the ingredients. Therefore, the level of fault was lower as there was very little she could have reasonably done to mitigate the risk of product contamination. Halep’s contamination was not a drug. It was a supplement and her level of fault is higher.

The key point here is that it is rare to find two cases that are the same. In athletics, he continued, they basically announce the provisional suspension on day one. Many team sports do not announce the provisional suspension at all. Tennis has decided not to announce the provisional suspension for at least 10 days.

This allows time to test the B sample and gives the player time to appeal the provisional suspension. If the appeal is successful and is filed within 10 days, the provisional suspension is not announced. Swiatek and Sinner appealed their provisional suspensions within 10 days, they were successful and under our rules we do not announce anything at that point,” added Moorhouse in particulars
