Seems Sharpova failed a drugs test and could be banned for 4 years. She's been taking this drug for 10 years but it only became listed and banned from January. But she will still be allowed to compete in the Olympics even though the Russian Athletics Team is banned from competing. How does that work? Personally, I'm pleased she's been outed as a druggie. I might be able to turn up the sound when I'm watching wimmin's tennis again. www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/35752114

I wonder if grunting is a side effect

It's impossible to watch, is there really a need to do that. Her defense of I have taken it for 10 years and forgot to click on an email link with banned substance updates holds no water. Then Venus Williams pops up today and says how brave of her to face the music and take the heat. Eh she cheated she should take the heat.

If she was on the drugs for 10 years and it is a 'significant performance enhancer' then you can bet that many more were on it. Why not, if it was legal and available on prescription? Maybe that's why Williams and Co are not crying foul.
But surely athletes have to give a list of all regular medications taken every time they give a urine sample and, if so, Grunter (and all the rest) would have informed the tennis authorities that she took this drug on countless occasions over the last 10 years? If that was the case, the authorities should have warned her that she had to stop taking that drug or find a legal alternative. Unless it wasn't a legal drug of course and a test for it was only recently discovered (hence why they banned it from 2016).
Anyway, fuck her, she's a pain in the arse and, since she's Russian, the probability is she's been on a host of other drugs.

My view is that some are being harsh on her. Even the men in tennis are grunting these days. The med she was taken has been ok to take for over 10 years and now all of a sudden it isn't. Granted she has been stupid in not keeping tabs and for that she will pay. Hard to tell though if it is deliberate. Someone at her level is bound to be tested regularly if she knew then she would know that ultimately she would be caught. I know there are masking agents but they don't cover random testing.
