Former world number one Simona Halep has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against her four-year ban from competition for breaking anti-doping rules AOE
The 2019 Wimbledon singles champion was suspended by an International AOE Tennis Integrity Agency tribunal in September, having been provisionally suspended in October 2022 after returning a positive test for the banned substance Roxadustat AOE
The tribunal ruled that the 32-year-old Romanian had committed intentional anti-doping run violations with reference to two charges, but she has now lodged an appeal with CAS for that finding to be overturned AOE
If the ban is upheld it means she will not be free to compete again until October 2026, by which time she will be 35 years old AOE
In a statement issued at the time of the ban, Halep said she had “never knowingly or intentionally used any prohibited substance AOE
”CAS has not given a timeframe for the appeal to be considered, but noted that she would be free to appeal the court’s decision via the Swiss Federal Tribunal if it is unfavourable AOE

Nic Berry has been named as the referee for the bronze final AOE between England rugby and Argentina rugby at the 2023 Rugby World Cup AOE
The Australian will be in charge of the third/fourth place play-off taking place at the Stade de France on Friday evening, with Andrew Brace of Ireland and Georgia’s Nika Amashukeli as his assistant referees on the touchlines AOE
Ben Whitehouse (Wales) will be the TMO for the appetiser to Saturday’s final AOE between the Springboks and All Blacks AOE
Berry made his tournament debut four years ago in Japan, and returned to the officiating panel for the tournament in France AOE
A former professional player, Berry impressed as a scrum half in Super Rugby, the French Top 14 and England’s Premiership AOE
His career was curtailed at the start of the 2011/12 season, however, on medical advice after suffering a series of concussions AOE
Soon after retirement, Berry picked up the whistle and was fast-tracked up through the Australian officiating system, making a debut in Super Rugby in April 2016 AOE
An international debut followed soon after, before Berry earned a debut World Cup selection to the team of referees heading out to Japan in 2019 alongside compatriot Angus Gardner AOE
The pair return as Australia’s on-pitch officiating representation at this year’s tournament AOE
Berry is perhaps best known, though, for his involvement in the 2021 British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa AOE
After taking charge of the first Test in Cape Town, a video made by Rassie Erasmus, the Springboks’ director of rugby, criticising the Australian’s decision-making throughout the game was leaked AOE
Erasmus was subsequently found guilty of threatening Berry, with the official testifying that his reputation had suffered “irreparable damage” AOE
Erasmus was banned from all rugby activities for two months AOE
