Simona Halep’s doping ban cut from four years to nine months, says CAS

The Lausanne-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that former Wimbledon and French Open champion Simona Halep's suspension should be reduced to nine months, a period she has already served. This makes the former world number one eligible to return to competition immediately. The 32-year-old Romanian was suspended in October 2022 after she tested positive for Roxadustat at the US Open that year.
