“It’s very surprising because for the two players (Sinner and Swiatek), they kept it a secret and talked about it when everything was solved”Simona Halep recently asked, after criticizing the difference in treatment.
After testing positive for doping, the Romanian was served a provisional and then official ban of four years, before his suspension was reduced to nine months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
In the interview on the Polish film of Poland TVN24whose comments are made by tennis 365Five-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek, suspended for just one month, answers questions from Simona Halep and others.
“I know that people have to compare this with other cases that have happened in the past, but the truth is that all these cases are completely different. And the way to prove his innocence is also different. It is difficult to compare myself to Sinner and Halep because each of us is facing a different problem. I think this is a question that affects the ITIA (International Tennis Integrity Agency) than the player. My fate, like that of other players, was in their hands and they are the ones who decide the outcome of each case. I am confident of the goal of the process, that everything is done according to the rules and that no one judges the player otherwise because of his position. But if so, I think it is a question of ITIA.”
