Failed test

In March 2016, Sharapova told a news conference in Los Angeles she had tested positive at the Australian Open for meldonium, which is used to treat diabetes and low magnesium and had been banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) since Jan 1.

Sharapova was provisionally banned by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and then suspended for two years, backdated to Jan 26.

Sharapova’s ban was reduced to 15 months on appeal and she returned to tennis in April 2017.

Sharapova claimed her first title since her doping ban and the final one of her career later that year when she won the Tianjin Open in October.

She reached the last 16 of the Australian Open at the start of 2019, but missed the French Open that year.

The Russian was eliminated in the first round of the final three Grand Slams of her career — Wimbledon and the US Open in 2019 and the 2020 Australian Open, which was her last competitive appearance.
