Tennis star Sherapova might enter the grass court again. She was banned for getting positive with a drug called Meldonium this January. Though Sharapova has argued that she is unaware of the drug being placed in the prohibited list, she was put under an immediate ban by the Tennis Association WADA. Sharapova has defended the drug use by saying that she has been using the drug for maintaining a healthy heart.
But sports academics claim that Meldonium is mostly used for enhancing the athlete’s performance. However, the latest announcement by WADA might give some hope to Sharapova again. As Meldonium is known to be retained in the body, even after the months of its intake, WADA is trying to ascertain whether the drug was taken by the athletes before or after the ban. Though some people are crying foul that this decision was made to save Sherapova, WADA is clarifying that, it’s just their best move to save the innocent. So! Would Sharapova be proved innocent?
