An independent tribunal has suspended Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova from play for a period of two years after she failed a drug test, the International Tennis Federation says. The five-time Grand Slam champion admitted in March that she tested positive for meldonium, a substance banned beginning early this year, during a drug test at the Australian Open. Sharapova, has maintained that she had been taking meldonium for 10 years due to several health issues and that she was not aware of the ban.
