Maria Sharapova has been suspended for two years by the International Tennis Federation for testing positive for meldonium at the Australian Open.

The ruling, announced Wednesday, can be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The five-time Grand Slam champion was provisionally suspended by the ITF in early March, when she announced at a news conference in Los Angeles that she failed a doping test in January.

Per Drugs.com

quote:

Maria Sharapova had been taking Meldonium since 2006. Her family doctor had prescribed it for her irregular EKGs, magnesium deficiency, and a family history of diabetes


Alright, nothing wrong there.

Sharapova claims she was unaware Meldonium had been added to the WADA list of banned substances


And there's where I call BS.

Waiting for Serena's doping test.

Seems a bit excessive. Am I right that it was formally banned in August and the positive test was in January? I am not reading any more about it.

I imagine her income won't hurt a bit.

I don't follow tennis very hard, is this not an extreme length of a suspension?

Djok, Nadal, Fererrer, Warinkka, should be too.

Tennis is a joke.

This is why I can't take tennis seriously anymore. Sharapova getting suspended is fine, but allowing Serena to get away with refusing to take her tests and even to the point of calling the cops when the tester comes to her house shows the joke that the WTA has become.
