Message from Darren Cahill
” Even if I no longer work with Simona, I would like to talk about the person I know and the athlete I worked with for six years.
First and foremost, there is no chance that Simona knowingly and intentionally took any banned substance on that list. Zero chance!
She is an athlete who used to worry about any medication prescribed for her by a professional doctor, there were few occasions when this happened. He also worried about any supplements he was using or considering.
Simona always said ‘Please double check this, triple check, to make sure it’s legal, safe and allowed. If you’re not sure, I won’t take it.’
We both believe in the Tennis Anti-Doping Program and often discuss the many times she has been tested, both during tournaments and casually. She always accepted without complaint, sure that other athletes were tested just as often.
Competing against clean athletes was important to her. It’s important for everyone, and even if the system isn’t perfect, it works.
Simona’s integrity is impeccable, she respects her supporters, loves the game and is always down to earth, a modest and approachable champion.
I was proud and amazed at the person he became, noticing the compassion he showed to others. I’m not talking about the things the tennis world sees, but the kindness and caring that very few are lucky enough to experience, the kind of actions that are done for love, not for publicity.
Honesty has always been her greatest quality, but also her greatest weakness. I always laughed about the fact that he can’t pretend and tell an innocent lie. Ask him anything at press conferences and he’ll answer honestly.
She is always honest to the world, for better or for worse. This is Simo. What you see is what you get. By doing things the hard and right way, she has built a wonderful career and will leave behind a legacy.
A process will follow in which many questions will be answered. As Simona also said, the most difficult match of her life begins now.
I believe in her. I’ve always believed it and I can honestly say I’ve never believed it more than I do now in this case.
I am with Simona “, was the message sent by Darren Cahill.
Patrick Mouratoglou, the main “suspect” after Simona Halep said she felt betrayed
Live on Digi Sport, Cosmin Hodor, former communication manager of Simona Halep, said that Patrick Mouratoglou has an important responsibility for the situation in which the tennis player from Constanța is.
” I don’t have all the information and I don’t know what happened there in the team. First of all, it makes you think of the team (no – Simona Halep’s statement that she feels betrayed). Maybe she thought that at certain moments, in the tournaments where it was recently, something happened to him.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist. Probably in that statement she lets us understand certain things. But no one should expect anything from Mouratoglou, until a definitive sentence is given, which can no longer be appealed.
At the moment, I am not interested in Mouratoglou, nor Mouratoglou’s academy, nor Mouratoglou’s team. For me it is equal to zero. I’m interested in Simona, for her mentality and integrity, as a person and as an athlete, to prove her innocence ,” said Cosmin Hodor, on the Ace of Tennis show.
