"How do you make them be applied by the anti-doping?": Mouratoglou sees Halep support from PTPA as hollow

The coach of Simona Halep, Patrick Mouratoglou has called the PTPA's support of Halep in her doping case hollow with statements being the only thing they do.

Simona Halep has been the most prominent player in recent memory to deal with doping allegations. It came after she tested positive for a banned substance at the US Open last year and since then she's been trying to prove her innocence but it's dragging out a bit. The PTPA which is headed by Djokovic immediately supported Halep but that support has mostly been with statements and comments.

Her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou finds that a bit hollow:

"It is great to have it in your rules, but how do you make them be applied by the anti-doping ?"

It came after the organisation put out a statement regarding Halep's ongoing case that is yet to be resolved despite her submitting everything back in December.

The PTPA said in a statement:

“One of the PTPA’s Principles is tennis players must have fair anti-doping rules and regulations, with full due process rights. That includes a timely review. We fully support players as they exercise their appeal rights & governing bodies must move with all deliberate speed to resolve cases. Athletes do not get time back even in a successful appeal."

As Mouratoglou said, that's all fine and dandy but how do you apply it and force the WADA to move.
