Unbelievable

[Cortez]

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.
