Simona Halep’s decision to sue the Canadian company behind the supplement she blames for her doping ban has left social media fans in disbelief, skeptical about her ability to prove the allegations.
Following her positive test for Roxadustat during the 2022 US Open, Halep faced a four-year ban, igniting her ongoing battle to overturn the ruling.
Now, she’s taking legal action against Quantum Nutrition, the manufacturer of the supplement she claims contained the banned substance.
Halep asserts that the Keto MCT she used lacked proper disclosure of Roxadustat, causing her significant embarrassment and damage to her career. Seeking over $10 million in damages along with punitive measures, Halep’s decision has drawn criticism from fans, who question her ability to substantiate the claims.
One fan expressed bewilderment over her strategy to prove the allegations, while another pointed out that Halep’s failure to ensure compliance with WADA regulations was ultimately her responsibility.
