  • The ITF may ban Maria Sharapova for a year.

    It was the admission that shook the tennis world.

    When tennis pin-up girl Maria Sharapova called an impromptu press conference there was not one journalist or tennis fan that expected her to reveal a failed drugs test at the Australian Open.

    Since then the Russian’s sponsors cannot drop her quickly enough with Nike, Porsche and TAG Heuer all pulling out of long-term contracts.

    As the dust begins to settle, Sport360 tennis reporter analyses the costly error and predicts what punishment the ITF are likely to hand down.
