Former world number one Simona Halep has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against her four-year ban from competition for breaking anti-doping rules AOE
The 2019 Wimbledon singles champion was suspended by an International AOE Tennis Integrity Agency tribunal in September, having been provisionally suspended in October 2022 after returning a positive test for the banned substance Roxadustat AOE
The tribunal ruled that the 32-year-old Romanian had committed intentional anti-doping run violations with reference to two charges, but she has now lodged an appeal with CAS for that finding to be overturned AOE
If the ban is upheld it means she will not be free to compete again until October 2026, by which time she will be 35 years old AOE
In a statement issued at the time of the ban, Halep said she had “never knowingly or intentionally used any prohibited substance AOE
”CAS has not given a timeframe for the appeal to be considered, but noted that she would be free to appeal the court’s decision via the Swiss Federal Tribunal if it is unfavourable AOE

Barcelona president Joan Laporta is under formal investigation for suspected bribery in a probe spanning two decades of activities at Spain’s refereeing committee, according to a court document seen by Reuters on Wednesday AOE
In March, prosecutors filed a complaint over alleged payments of more than 7 AOE
3 million euros ($7 AOE
8 million) over 17 years to firms owned by Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, who was vice-president of the Spanish AOE football federation’s refereeing committee from 1993 to 2018 AOE
Laporta, who started a second term as Barca’s president in 2021, was also at the helm from 2003 to 2010 AOE

LaLiga champions Barcelona have denied any wrongdoing, saying in a statement in February that the club had paid an external consultant who supplied it with “technical reports related to professional refereeing”, which it said was a common practice among professional AOE football clubs AOE
On Wednesday, Barca told Reuters its legal department was handling the case AOE
In Spain, being placed under investigation does not necessarily lead to indictment and no formal charges can be brought until the first phase of the investigation is completed AOE
