Maria Sharapova failed a drug test at Australian Open

Maria Sharapova announced Monday that she failed a drug test at the Australian Open.

Sharapova received a letter from the International Tennis Federation several days ago informing her that she had failed the test for Meldonium, a substance that had been legal until Jan. 1 of this year. Sharapova did not indicate what the penalties would be or how long she might be away from the game of tennis.
