Two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep has been banned for four years for two separate anti-doping code violations as the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) ruled against her and said the amount of anti-doping material found in her body can`t come from a contaminated supplement.
The ITIA stated this on Tuesday and noted the anti-doping code violation issue, thus confirming her four-year ban.
