 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and Simone Halop's former coach Darren Cahill has come out with an Instagram post talking about the Halop saga. Of course over the last couple of days we've had some big news with Simone Halop testing positive for a banned substance. Let's go over and read what Darren Cahill had to say about Simone Halop. So this is his statement that Cahill brought out. Hi all, even though I'm no longer working with Simone, I'd like to speak clearly to the person I know and the athlete that I worked with for six years. Firstly and most importantly, there is no chance Simone knowingly or purposely took any substance on the banned list. None zero. She is an athlete that's stressed about anything prescribed to her by a medical professional which was rarely or about any supplement that she used or considered. Simone wore out the words please double check this triple check this to make sure it's legal safe and permitted if you are not sure I'm not taking it. We both believe in the ITIA testing program and would often discuss the number of times she was tested both at tournaments and randomly. She did it without complaint with the reassurance of knowing other athletes were being tested just as frequently. Competing against clean athletes was important to her, it's important to everyone and while the system is not perfect it works. Simone's integrity is faultless. She respects her peers, she loves the game and she always has her feet firmly planted on the ground as a humble approachable champion. I accept proudly an aura of the person that she has matured into watching the compassion she has shown others. I'm not talking about the stuff that the tennis world gets to see, I'm speaking about the kindness and care that very few are fortunate to experience. The kind actions that are done for love and not publicity. Honesty has always been her greatest strength and her biggest weakness. We would often laugh about the fact that she can't act and can't tell a little white lie. Ask her a question at press conference and she will blurt out an honest answer. She wears her mood on her shoulder for the world to see, for good and for bad. That is Simo. What you see is what you get. She built an amazing career and legacy by doing things the hard way, the right way. Drew Process will now follow to reveal answers to many questions. As Simone said, the hardest match of her life starts now. I believe her, I always have and can honestly say never more than right now on this particular issue. I stand with Simo. So there you have it, strong words from her former coach Darren Cahill. And like he said, he was with her for six years and he knows her possibly better than anyone, especially because of those six years, he took it a grand slam glory. But everyone who's come out and talked about Simone Hallop being her ex-husband or her ex-coach and Darren Cahill has come out in support and said that this is not what Simone Hallop would do, that it must be a mistake. And Hallop said that herself as well and we haven't got to the bottom of it yet. So let me know down in the comments below, what do you guys reckon? Are all these opinions coming in from people that know her or people that have competed against her? Other players, for example? Have they changed your mind on the situation? Do you give Hallop a little bit more benefit of doubt? Let me know down in the comments below, what do you reckon? But the Hallop saga continues with Darren Cahill coming out in strong support of Simone Hallop.
