The Downfall of Simona Halep: From Tennis Champion to Banishment and Losses

She was world number one in tennis, won two Grand Slam tournaments and had the world at her feet, so to speak. In addition to her sporting life, Simona Halep was also happy in her private life, in 2021 she married Romanian billionaire Toni Iuruc.

After two years, however, the life of the biggest figure in Romanian sports in recent years has turned upside down. Her marriage ended in divorce after 11 months and her tennis career was suspended last October after she tested positive for the banned substance roxadustat.

Already this year, she also faced accusations of irregularities in her biological passport. Finally, in September, an independent commission upheld the decision of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) and punished Halep with a four-year ban.

Halep continues to maintain her innocence and has appealed the ban, saying she was both shocked and disappointed by the commission’s decision.

“I am grateful for the outpouring of support I have received from my family, friends, and tennis fans around the world. I continue to train and do everything in my power to clear my name of these false allegations and return to kurt,” she wrote on the social network.

Despite her appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), it appears that her non-participation in professional tournaments has resulted in significant losses in her income.

Recently, overseas media reported that she put one of her houses up for sale. He is asking $4.5 million for the property in Los Angeles, according to msn.com. It is a million more than Hollywood actress Margot Robbie paid for it in 2018.

Another blow is the loss of her long-term lucrative sponsor. As reported by the tennisuptodate.com portal, Halepova’s name disappeared from the list of partnerships of the Swiss watch manufacturer Hublot.

The two-time Grand Slam champion has posted several videos of her training on social media in recent weeks to emphasize that she believes in her innocence and has not given up hope of returning to the tennis courts in four years.
