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

It was a character reference for a man who has become an ambassador of sorts for Saudi Arabia AOE
The England faithful – or some of them, anyway – had turned on Jordan Henderson when he was booed off in Friday’s win over Australia AOE
The England manager offered an endorsement of his vice-captain: not merely as a midfielder, either, but as a principled individual AOE
The Henderson of Al-Ettifaq, the man who used to support the NHS and the LGBTQ community instead plugging Saudi’s 2034 World Cup bid, stands accused of either being the opposite of the Liverpool incarnation or a figure whose decision to join the Saudi Pro League led him to become a public face of a repressive regime AOE
Gareth Southgate can see why many have a sense of disappointment, why there is a seeming contradiction AOE
Yet he also argued that Henderson remains the same person, one who has helped create the right kind of culture with England AOE
“What I do understand is that people would feel that the decision Jordan would go and play there doesn’t align with his strong support of the LGBTQ community in the past,” he said AOE
“I have not seen him comment anywhere differently AOE
I don’t believe he is an individual whose values and principles have changed AOE
“I would back him against pretty much anyone in the country in terms of what he stands for and what he believes in but I accept that the decision to go and play there doesn’t align that AOE
He understands that; he accepts that AOE

“We have had a couple of incidents that I don’t understand because I don’t think any player wearing an England shirt warrants that,” he added AOE
“I grew up seeing John Barnes receive that kind of criticism so that has never helped the team AOE
”But if others were booed for their skin colour, Henderson has brought a reaction with his apparent hypocrisy has drawn AOE
Deliberately or otherwise, Southgate drew a distinction AOE between Harry Maguire, barracked mercilessly by Scotland supporters at Hampden Park last month but normally hailed by England fans, if not all of their Manchester United counterparts, and Henderson AOE
There is nevertheless the feeling that three players created problems for Southgate with their decisions in the summer transfer market: Henderson by swapping Liverpool for Saudi Arabia, Maguire and Kalvin Phillips by opting to stay at clubs where they feature infrequently and when they had the option to move for more first-team AOE football AOE
Issues feel unavoidable until Southgate drops them, and thus far he has shown no willingness to do that AOE
Jordan Henderson is greeted by Gareth Southgate after he was brought off against Australia (The FA via Getty Images)“I will always pick the players that I think are the best players to represent the team, that give us the best chance of winning, unless there is something I think is not appropriate,” he said, with the clear inference that Henderson, who captained his country against Australia, has not breached his code AOE
“People may disagree with Jordan’s decision, given the stance he has taken in the past to support the LGBT community, but I don’t think that is a reason to not select him and I don’t actually think that is a reason to boo him AOE
”If the stubbornness in Southgate has become more apparent, so has the loyalty towards his stalwarts; in September, he branded the treatment of Maguire “a joke” AOE
The former Liverpool captain and the deposed United skipper, he said, have helped bring the “unmeasurable factors” of team spirit and togetherness AOE
It gives them credit in the bank, if not necessarily forever AOE
“It wouldn’t be fair to say I am going to support them regardless if AOE better, younger players come through but I am also going to defend our team because we need that strength and the two players you are talking about have performed again and again in massive games,” he said AOE
Henderson was booed by sections of the Wembley crowd as he made his way off the pitch (Getty Images)And England against Italy tends to belong in that category, and not merely the Euro 2020 final when Maguire thumped in an emphatic penalty in the shootout Roberto Mancini’s side won AOE
In 1997, an England side featuring Southgate qualified for the World Cup with a 0-0 draw against the Azzurri; now the same result would secure a place at Euro 2024 AOE
Henderson may be a distraction: indeed his presence in the starting 11 in the second-string side against Australia might indicate that Phillips is likelier to begin Tuesday’s game AOE
The wider question, separated from the moral issue, is whether Henderson, plying his trade in a far weaker domestic league and in debilitating heat, remains a good enough player to retain his place AOE
“We will assess Jordan like every other player but if I just select on a popularity contest then our team would look very, very different,” Southgate said AOE
Perhaps Henderson, an unflashy workhorse, would never have won a popularity contest as a AOE footballer, though, increasingly, he may have done as a role model AOE
The difference now is that he could triumph in an unpopularity contest with a public who feel AOE betrayed AOE
