When you say “who convinced her to do that?” Do you mean convinced her to dope or convinced her to play in the 28th? If you mean convinced her to dope sounds like you’re suggesting she only starting doping and got caught, as opposed to using PEDs all along?

Patrick Jean André Mouratoglou (born 8 June 1970) is a French tennis coach and sports commentator of Greek descent. He was the coach of Serena Williams from June 2012 to 2022. Since Spring 2022, Mouratoglou has been the coach of Simona Halep.

Simona Halep: Former world number one provisionally suspended for doping offence
Two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep is provisionally suspended from tennis after testing positive for a banned substance.www.bbc.com
“Finally?”
Such small findings on something that isn’t used as a PED. Let’s see what the investigation brings out before we automatically call her a doper.
She should have stuck with Cahill, not because of this, but because Mouratoglou is overrated.

It’s a type of blood booster—curious why you’re saying it isn’t used as a PED. Like, has it shown to have little efficacy that makes it not worth the risk. Or is it that it’s just never shown up on lists of suspected PEDs?

Not just skipping tests, but getting boatloads of TUE’s.
Couldn't resist checking out the New York Times coverage of the Joker after his win. Comment after comment about how incredible he is, how he's changed his diet and it's done wonders. NOTHING about suspicious behavior, nothing about his unbelievable record, NOTHING about him beating Nadal and Federer. Blows my mind.Is Joker getting a special drink?
I hope the Halep situation gives tennis fans a little bit to think about.
Halep is being coached by Serena's former coach? Woooboy, that sounds like an interesting choice of a coach...
4 years is way too much for something so small that was found, and wasn’t for performance use.
You may know more about the specific case than I do, but it’s hard for me to fathom why you say it “wasn’t for performance use” when the violation is for a blood boosting product?
From previous article posted above: “Roxadustat is an anti-anaemia drug which stimulates the production of red blood cells in the body.”
Read the case. The amount was so small. And the ITIA report is just ‘we don’t have conclusive evidence…but…’
Only for something really small and which wasn't for performance boost. Too much natural talent. ;-)
On a serious note, I gather there's a line in the reasoned decision in which her defence argues blood boosting is pointless in tennis as she wouldn't need extra oxygen. Must look it up and post the actual quote.
Cas ruled Halep "on the balance of probabilities" had not taken roxadustat intentionally.

I am willing to bet Mouratoglou was behind that. Guy is extremely shady, to put it lightly.
