00:00 She was obviously thrilled with the result.

00:02 You know, this is the result we were hoping for all along.

00:07 I think Simona has, you know,

00:11 she's known all along that she didn't dope on purpose.

00:16 You know, this was an inadvertent issue with the supplement

00:18 and she's been unwavering in her belief

00:22 that the results at the end would be a just result.

00:26 And so it took a long time to get there,

00:28 but she was happy to finally see it.

00:31 Yeah, so we've already filed suit

00:32 against the supplement company.

00:34 That's in the very early stages.

00:37 And so she intends to see that through,

00:42 whether there will be any other,

00:45 anyone else or any other entities

00:47 that we seek to hold to account,

00:52 we don't know yet, we haven't discussed that.

00:54 We didn't, that wasn't the focus

00:55 of our discussion earlier today,

00:57 but you know, she's had good support among the players

01:00 throughout the whole case.

01:02 So I don't think that she's worried

01:03 about coming back on the tour.

01:05 You know, fans will say what they're gonna say,

01:09 but she knows that she's clean

01:12 and she's looking forward to coming back.
