Having worked with
Simona Halep prior to her initial doping violation, coach
Patrick Mouratoglou has throughout thrown his support the way of the former World No.1.
He has done so again amid her second anti-doping violation which she believes is targeted harassment.
Initially commenting on her Instagram, he then took to Twitter to release the statement too and said: "Simona’s statement on the harassment she is a victim of. This situation is going way past the limits of the acceptable."
The multiple Grand Slam champion also said in her statement that she hopes to clear her name at the end of May meaning a resolution to at least the initial case could be due very soon.
