Summary
Maria Sharapova, the Russian tennis player, was banned for two years from games because she tested positive for the illegal drug meldonium.
In spite of her status, Nike and Head plan on supporting her on the grounds that the decision was not based on extensive clinical testing.
After this news, it is said her income such as her own branded clothes are going to plump over the next 12 months.
According her state, she did not know meldonium was added to the banned list.
Opinion
She doesn’t have enough self-awareness as a pro tennis player.
Certainly she only has used meldonium as a remedy, but she received warnings from ITF. Despite the warnings, she said she did not know the fact. Ignorance is no excuse.
I think she should have tried to pay attention to the drug.
Therefore, in the point of her punishment, I don’t think it is too heavy for her because she neglected a confirmation of the illegally drug list .
She has to have consciousness as a top athlete.
