The Russian tennis star, Maria Sharapova, has announced that she failed a drugs test at this year's Australian Open. Speaking at a press conference in Los Angeles, Sharapova said she tested positive for meldonium - a drug used to treat blood flow restriction. Former British number one, Annabel Croft, says that the news is completely unexpected and that Sharapova could face a ban. (Photo: Maria Sharapova stands dejected at Wimbledon last year.
