No, because she has the chance to ask for B samples to be tested before its released I believe, stop any accusations being leveraged before all tests have been completed. Standard timescale I think.

According to a sports medico that was just interviewed on the ABC, she's very lucky to only get 12 months as it should really have been 4 years as ignorance is no longer an excuse and especially when you are an high profile athlete surrounded by a whole phalanx of support staff

Turns out shes waved that. Clearly going for the 'Yes, I'm technically guilty, but look at these factors'. Reckon a TUE is what she'll try her best to prove. Any leeway she might get for her reputation within the womans game will be stripped by the fact she's Russian - lets face it they aren't against pumping drugs into athletes from a young age...

Do we worry that she failed a test nearly two months ago and we're only just hearing about it because she's admitting to it?

It's hardly news that tennis sucks at doping control.

It came out before the Williams match apparently. I wouldn't even blame her if she had taken it knowingly in the hope it would help her. Not that it made the slightest difference.

she's been taking it for 10 years. Which means it literally has not made the slightest bit of difference vs. Serena since she never beat her in that 10 year period, lol.

Also check out Jennifer Capriati's twitter. She's gone loco.

Having said all that it's ruined her tennis legacy and perhaps more importantly her brand. So wish it had been a retirement announcement now.

spoken like a true Sharapova fan

(Schadenfreude? Oh yes)

Already was off with the fairies. Should probably have been protected from making a fool of herself.

Stop gloating vimes I'm upset, honestly I won't be able to have a crafty **** over picsof her without feeling guilty, in many ways I'm the real victim here.

If anything I find this information enhances my performance.

Capriati's rant about stripping her of her titles is ridiculous. The substance only became illegal in 2016. I don't think she's won anything in 2016. If the authorities only became convinced of its performance-enhancing abilities so recently, it must have an insignificant impact.

I think, as Vimes alluded too, J-cap is not someone to be taken seriously on anything. Look at her Obama rants.

Can't believe she's getting big publicity over this. She'll be delighted though.

Epic Zverev choke vs. Nadal.

The top tennis guys are so likable. Even Murray who everyone complains about having a dour personality, I really like his sense of humour. TBF, I've warmed to Rafa a lot more since he started sucking.

 

[Cabinet96]

Raonic the next new grand slam winner?

 

[Jono]

He's definitely jumped ahead of Nishi atm, and well ahead of Dimi.

Thiem the other one that looks good but that loss to Tsonga was a stinker. His thiem will come though

 

[Jono]

Big big win for Rafa
