Patrick Mouratoglou admitted responsibility for Simona Halep's doping that led to her 4-year suspension from the tennis circuit.
The former world No. 1 has been away from competition for the past year due to a suspension she received after testing positive for Roxadustat at the 2022 US Open, following her first-round defeat to Daría Snigur.
Her coach in 2022, Patrick Mouratoglou, recently posted a video on social media where he took responsibility for himself and his team in administering collagen to Simona Halep. It was this collagen that was found to be contaminated and resulted in the positive doping tests in both urine and blood.
“We have been able to establish where the contamination comes from. So we proposed her to take collagen and we brought her collagen from a company. This collagen happened to be contaminated, there was no way to know it. But I feel responsible for what happened because it's my team. So it's me basically who brought her this collagen.”
The French coach, former coach of Serena Williams, faced widespread criticism on social media:
“What a coward he is! Took him so long when we all knew in fact, from the beginning, that his team was responsible. If he would have come out from the beginning then all Simona’s haters would have kept their mouth shut! Also, Simona divorced her recently married husband soon after she started working with Mouratoglou. Just another coincidence!"
“When are we going to admit @pmouratoglou is a fraud?”
“Knew it from the beginning, so sorry for Simona. She was punished for daring to win that Wimbledon against Serina.”
“Wow..so he is the one who bought the supplements from this company, Simona is suing the company I believe. And Patricia why are you only coming out now? I don't trust Patrick at all, sniff sniff. Simona should have never employed him as a coach.”
