Coach Aleppo: “I trust Simona 100% against all forms of doping”
Patrick MuratogluThe coach of star Romanian tennis player Simona Halep commented on the positive doping test of the world’s first former racket.
“First of all, I want to express how shocked our team was after Simona informed me of a positive doping test. I have never been in this situation in my nearly 30 years of working with hundreds of professional athletes.
I appreciate that many people from the tennis world who know or have worked with Simona speak out in support of her. I want to thank them for proclaiming at such an important moment that Simone is a woman with values. His words convey a powerful message that I fully share.
After Simone tested positive, I decided to keep relative silence. My main task was to help him and help him learn the truth.
I know Simone well and I can assure you she is an example of integrity. He is totally against doping of any kind and I know he doesn’t even consider the use of banned substances. I trust him 100%. We will all fight together to prove the truth,” she said.
