Seems like the end has come for Sharapova in tennis, also Nike major sponsor suspended her contract straight away ... sad

How do you know she hasn't a "one shot rule"?

She is a big girl, 6' 1" is her stated height, although it is rumoured she is taller.
I am reliably informed she does not look as good or as feminine in person.

She is 6ft 21/2...she was staying in the same hotel in Geneva and she is actually even better in person.

At almost 29 years of age does she have much of a career left anyway? I have always admired her from the time she came on centrecourt as a 17 year old and outsmarted Serena Williams. Looks like the biggest loss she will make will be the endorsements. It goes to show the lengths these people are willing to go to get to the very top.
It reminds me of when Frankie Sheehan got banned from playing for munster a few years ago because he "forgot" to put down on the medical forms that he was asthmatic and took an inhaler, a fairly common problem with professional rugby players apparently. (I wonder how he is now). He got away with it then but I cannot see Sharapova getting away this.

i reckon she will only get a 9 month ban. Surprised that nike did that as they stood by Tiger Woods.

i don't think she ever needs to earn a penny again , she made 23million last year.

This by Tom Fordyce, BBC chief sports writer.
There is no doubt where his sympathies lie. Not with Maria.
I am not agreeing or disagreeing with him, but it is a well-written piece
