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! But the coward was scared that his academy would have…
"What a coward he is": Patrick Mouratoglou slammed after admission of guilt in Simona Halep doping case
WTASunday, 05 November 2023 at 01:08
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?”
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.”
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.”

Here are some other fan reactions:
Since seeing this, my mind is on @PHShriver view on this at the time …
Simona made a big mistake hiring this crook as her coach.
Hope this will restore Simona's reputation. She's lost her peak playing years because of this, it's unfair for her. Miss her, hope she still can come back and see her play again
Contaminated. Quality control check not so great, for one of the highest paid coaches in the world, working with the absolute top tier athletes....
So he's been doping players. Won't list the names of players this brings into question but there's one or 2 legacies in question there. Quite shameful how long it's taken him to admit it. Happy to throw Halep under the bus to save his own skin. Hope action is taken against him
What took you so long @pmouratoglou !?!? We always knew it! I just hope she will come back very soon @Simona_Halep ❤️👊🏻❤️
