Former women’s world No. 1 Simona Halep has criticized the “big difference in treatment” she received from the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) compared to the body’s handling of Iga Świątek’s failed test.

Simona Halep questioned the "big difference" in how doping cases are treated after world No. 2 Iga Swiatek was handed a one-month drugs ban while the Romanian was out of action for over 18 months following two separate anti-doping violations.

Former world number one Simona Halep expresses dismay at the way Iga Świątek's doping case was addressed by tennis authorities compared to her own.
