Called her own press conference tonight to make the announcement. Turns out it's a medication she's been taking for ten years and only got banned on the 1st of January this year. Therefore she failed the drugs test at the Aussie Open.
Genuine mistake if you ask me and the authorities should show leniancy. They won't though and she'll probably get a 12 month ban.
She's not a cheat. Footballers who dive in the penalty area are cheats. Maria Sharapova isn't. Unless of course it turns out that this is a masking agent to hide a more serious drug.
Any opinions on this?
