Maria Sharapova Fails Drug Test
莎娃未通過藥檢
Russian tennis champion Maria Sharapova has tested positive for a performance enhancing drug. Sharapova has taken responsibility for the test sample that was collected by the World Anti-Doping Agency at the Australian Open this year. The highest paid female athlete in the world has been taking meldonium for the past ten years, though it has only been a banned substance since January 2016. Sharapova has claimed that she did not read an email that listed the drug as a newly banned substance. In Russia, this drug is widely available without a prescription. Some trainers say meldonium restores the body but does not enhance performance. The International Tennis Federation is currently looking into the case and says the tennis star could face a 4-year suspension.
俄羅斯網球名將莎娃興奮劑檢測呈陽性。在今年澳網比賽中,莎娃未能通過反興奮劑機構檢查,對此她表示負全部責任。作為全球最會賺錢女運動員,莎娃服用米屈肼已達十年之久,但自2016年1月起,米屈肼才被列為違禁藥物。據莎娃表示,她沒有查看郵件,不知該藥物被列入禁藥清單。在俄羅斯,米屈肼為非處方藥物。許多教練表示,米屈肼幫助恢復身體機能,但不會提高運動成績。日前,國際網聯正對此事進行調查,莎娃或面臨4年禁賽懲罰。
