    ‘It’s not fair’: Simona Halep unhappy over delayed doping hearing

    [ad_1]

    Simona Halep has criticised tennis’s anti-doping bodies for repeatedly delaying her independent tribunal hearing and not allowing her the chance to defend herself against a rule violation.

    Halep, a two-time grand slam champion and former world No 1, has been provisionally suspended since August after testing positive for the drug Roxadustat following her US Open first-round loss. Roxadustat is primarily an anti-anaemia medicine that catalyses red blood cell creation in the body. Halep denies knowingly taking the banned substance.

    According to Halep, her hearing was initially scheduled for 28 February, which gave her hope that she would know whether or not she could compete at Indian Wells. Anti-doping tests have been administered by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) since 2022 but Halep appeared to indicate that her case is under the remit of the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

    Speaking publicly for the first time since announcing she had received the anti-doping rule violation, Halep said that the February hearing was eventually postponed to 24 March as the ITF required more time for additional testing, but the subsequent date was also postponed. Halep’s tribunal hearing is now scheduled for 28 May, the first day of the French Open.

    “The next step is a hearing at the end of May, the 28th, but it is very fragile because the ITF said that they might cancel it as well,” she said. “If they do that, it will be almost eight months since I’ve been provisionally suspended for the first time and I believe that it’s not fair to spend eight months without even being judged by the tribunal.

    “Emotionally, the whole period has not been easy and I just felt the need to speak out loud to my fans, to my supporters, and actually to the whole public,” continued Halep in an interview with Tennis Majors, which lists Patrick Mouratoglou, Halep’s coach, as a member of its staff.

    Halep says that she sought the advice of “experts” who provided her with evidence that she unknowingly took contaminated supplements due to a mistake from the company that sells the supplements. Halep says she presented her evidence to the ITF in December, but the organisation chose to proceed with an anti-doping tribunal. Halep declined to name the experts as she has retained them for her tribunal.

    “I had never heard about it so I didn’t know how I could take it, and actually how it could be in my urine. After a lot of work they found out that there was a contamination, a supplement contamination, and that’s why the quantity was so, so low in my body,” said Halep.

    Halep says she has continued to train and she remains motivated to return to professional tennis and re-establish herself at the top, but at 31 years old every passing day on the sideline makes a comeback more difficult. Halep says she is primarily concerned with finally having the opportunity to defend her case.

    “It’s been seven months since I’ve been originally suspended even though I’ve had all the evidence since December,” she said. “I’m not asking for special treatment. I just ask to be judged. How much longer is this going to take?”

    Tennis Majors reported that the ITF said it was not in a position to comment on Halep’s criticism. The ITIA has been contacted for comment.

    Unhappy with life, young Asst Prof turns porter in Hyderabad

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Unhappy with his personal life, an Assistant Professor at an engineering college became a porter.

    The bizarre incident occurred at Abdullapurmet on the outskirts of Hyderabad. A youth, working as an Assistant Professor at a private college, went missing on April 7 from the college hostel where he was staying. The college authorities thought that he might have gone to his native place in Khammam district in Telangana and contacted his family. However, the family members informed them that he had not come there.

    After waiting for a few days, the family lodged a complaint with the police, which took up the investigation. The family members told police that in the past he had left home without informing them and was later found working as a porter in a market.

    Abdullapurmet inspector Sunil Kumar and his team kept a watch at a local fruit market in Abdullapurmet. On Tuesday morning, the police noticed the youth arriving there to work as a porter. They took him into custody and handed him over to his family. The police advised the family to arrange counselling.

  • People in Pakistan unhappy, believe Partition was mistake, says RSS chief

    People in Pakistan unhappy, believe Partition was mistake, says RSS chief

    [ad_1]

    Bhopal: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said people of Pakistan were not happy after more than seven decades of Independence and they now believe the partition of India was a mistake.

    He was speaking at a function to mark the birth anniversary of teen revolutionary Hemu Kalani, which was attended by Sindhis from different parts of the country.

    “It was Bharat before 1947 (Partition). Those who broke off from Bharat, are they happy still? There is pain out there,” Bhagwat said in an apparent reference to Pakistan.

    However, in a reference to the acrimonious relationship the two nations have now, Bhagwat underscored the fact that India did not belong to a culture that calls for attacks on others.

    “I do not mean to say Bharat should attack Pakistan. Not at all. We don’t belong to that culture that calls for attack on others,” he said.

    “We are from the culture that gives a befitting reply in self-defence,” Bhagwat said apparently referring to the surgical strikes on terror camps in that country, adding “we do it and we will keep doing it”.

    “People of Pakistan are now saying the division of Bharat was a mistake. All are saying it was a mistake,” Bhagwat asserted.

    Hailing the Sindhi community, most of who arrived here during Partition, Bhagwat said they had come “from that Bharat to this Bharat for the sake of your rich Sindhu culture and values”.

  • Unhappy with Kerala HC order on wild tusker, protesters in Idukki block traffic

    Unhappy with Kerala HC order on wild tusker, protesters in Idukki block traffic

    [ad_1]

    Kochi: Angry protesters, including children and women, from 10 villages in the hilly district of Idukki on Thursday are out on the streets, blocking traffic on the Kochi-Dhanushkodi highway.

    This highway passes through Idukki and the protesters are unhappy with the Kerala High Court’s Wednesday decision involving wild tusker ‘Arikomban’ and two other rogue elephants causing destruction to life and properties of people in these affected villages.

    The Kerala High Court on Wednesday warned the state of strict action if it found that the area in the Idukki district where these wild tuskers, including ‘Arikomban’, were roaming had been an elephant habitat before the tribals were resettled there.

    The division bench, according to the protesters, instead of helping them, called for records and reports on the resettlement of tribal people in the area back in 2000. The court said, “If it was an elephant habitat, you had no business resettling people there and putting them in danger. The court said that resettling people in an elephant habitat was the root of the entire problem.”

    “We will examine it. If it was an elephant habitat, then your policymakers went way off the board. If people were resettled there despite being aware of this fact, we will come down heavily on those responsible.

    “Errors in history can be corrected later in time. We need to find whether the mistake happened and if yes, correct it,” the bench said, and declined to issue any direction in the interim for capture and captivity of the wild tuskers, including ‘Arikomban’.

    The feature of Arikomban (translated in Malayalam as Aari-rice and Komban-tusker) is it attacks ration shops and houses for rice.

    The villagers are unhappy with the court decision as it said that it will constitute a five-member committee that would decide whether to capture the wild elephant and turn it into a captive tusker or relocate it to interior areas of the forest.

    It further said that till the panel came to a decision by the next week, the tusker was not to be captured and put in captivity, but allowed tranquilising for a limited purpose of radio-collaring it to track its movements.

    “We are not going to stop our protests and we will do it, only when some concrete things come out, as we are fed up living in constant fear. Lives are lost and properties are being destroyed,” said a group of angry protesters.

    Meanwhile, state Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran said the people have the right to protest as the Court’s directive complicated things.

    “The state will go forward exploring all the legal remedies and it will seek legal recourse,” said Saseendran.
