 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name is Cam Williams and Samona Halif's coach Patrick Moratoglu has bought out an extended statement talking about the situation with Samona Halif and giving us a little bit more information about where he stands in this conversation Let's cover a read of his extended statement that he bought out only a few hours ago So what Patrick Moratoglu had to say in a statement over on twitter. Hi everyone First I want to express how much of a shock our team has been since Samona informed me about the positive doping test from the us open In almost 30 years of working with hundreds of professional athletes I have never faced a situation like this I appreciate that many people from the tennis world who have closely worked with Samona or have known her personally for many years Have spoken up. I want to thank those people for expressing loudly such an important moment that Samona is a woman of value Their words of certitude convey a strong message that I stand by since Samona's positive test last week I've chosen to stay relatively silent My priority has been to put my energy into helping her and supporting her in establishing the truth every day Knowing Samona so well I can assure you that she is a model of integrity She is totally against any form of doping and I know it has never crossed her mind to take any forbidden substance I trust her a hundred percent together. We'll fight to prove the truth Patrick Moratoglu There you have it That is what he has to say in a more extended statement So he's doing a lot of work behind the scenes and of course talking to Samona Halif a lot We still don't know exactly how long she will be suspended or you know if this suspension is going to just be provisionally We still haven't gone to the bottom of what actually has happened. I mean, has it all just been a big mistake Everyone who's spoken about this has said that Samona Halif would never do this on purpose Uh, obviously Halif has said that she has she doesn't know how this has happened Uh, we don't know what's happened exactly how this has happened at all Moratoglu has come out and talked about it Let me know down in the comments below How do you feel about Moratoglu coming out a couple of days later? Do you think he should have come out earlier with this information or at least with this statement? Or do you think staying quiet and working with Samona behind the scenes is a little bit better for him to do and stay a bit more low key But Patrick Moratoglu has come out with an extended statement about the doping scandal
