ABSTRACT:
Maria Sharapova denied all the speculation that had lifted one day before His presence in
Los Angeles hotel. The Russian, 28 years old, or she doesn’t arises design and she isn’t
pregnant, as stated in the social networks, shocked by the sudden summons from the
player. Sharapova, commercial icon of women's tennis over the last decade, appeared before
the media to announce that he had failed a doping test carried out in the latest edition of
the Australia Open, just over a month ago.
PERSONAL OPINION:
I think that is horrible that some people take drugs because there are a lot of benefits but
there are more negative points, the using of drugs it provokes an inequality because if one
sportsmen or sportswoman take drugs are ahead of others that didn’t consume.
It’s very important that the sportswoman or sportsman get their achievements by
themselves.
