Thinking about @MariaSharapova with today's news. She accepted responsibility early on and that is a big part of her true character

Goodness.
Sharapova was on 30 drugs "including Magnerot, Riboxin and
Mildronate"

Now Maria Sharapova can focus on her airport candy brand that I have totally impulse bought before every flight.

Hope tennis isn't ova for sharapova

Golden glove and soft landing for Maria #Sharapova. Two years exclusion period is a slap in the face of the fight against Elite doping.

Weird stuff in Sharapova ruling: Doping ppl say she didn't know she was breaking rules, but hid it from tour what she was taking
— Greg Couch (@gregcouch) June 8, 2016

1st impression from Sharapova verdict: what a complete shambles. Her agent is supposed to check her supplements but admits he has no knowhow

Maria Sharapova banned for 2 years, meaning those loud groans you hear from Yer Da's TV late at night can no longer be blamed on tennis

Unlike some of the athlete meldonium bans that were lifted, Sharapova admitted usage in 2016 (5x during @AustralianOpen ). key distinction.

Tribunal decision on Sharapova is harsh, but non intentional use declaration should help her get back endorsement deals.

Ignorance of the law is no defense in courts and sports. #Sharapova https://t.co/HzzwNUwJjc

After everything Maria has done for tennis @ITF_Tennis wanted a 4 yr ban. Moral of story is don't be honest otherwise you'll pay #Sharapova
— Meera (@Meera8r) June 8, 2016

Compare & contrast. Direct contradiction between tribunal's view of 'performance enhancement' and Sharapova's... pic.twitter.com/V223jbbMMI

Poor Sharapova.

She gets a crap suspension and people STILL can't pronounce her name right 😑
— Garrett McClintock (@GJMcClintock) June 8, 2016

Sharapova says her 2yr doping ban in harsh. Not harsh enough imho. #LifetimeBansForDopesPlease
— Rachel (Ray) Kay (@raykay57) June 8, 2016

There's absolutely no explanation as to why Sharapova never wrote Meldonium down in a regular doping control form. It's a MUST thing to do.
— Oleg S. (@AnnaK_4ever) June 8, 2016

Maria Sharapova would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those pesky drug tests and that meddling Meldonium 💊💉.
— ℕUFF$AID (@nuffsaidNY) June 8, 2016

Maria Sharapova's two-year suspension will end at midnight Jan. 25, 2018.
— ESPNTennis (@ESPNTennis) June 8, 2016

Oh dear. Sharapova playing the victim card makes her look worse.

Very important part on why ITF did not and could not possibly warn Sharapova on meldonium in advance: pic.twitter.com/dPKtAIMKoB

Maria Sharapova has posted a statement to her Facebook page. https://t.co/n8NzGe94bZ pic.twitter.com/Y6a1zG9HF2

Goodbye Sharapova. Wait a few years and get a biopic made in India that gives you a clean chit.

Don't be fooled though: Ban is backdated to January, so she is eligible to play again on January 25, 2018.
— Abigail Johnson (@abigailtennis) June 8, 2016

Meldonium was present in a sample taken in competition from Sharapova at Wimbledon on July 9 last year (day of defeat by Serena in semis).
— Stuart Fraser (@stu_fraser) June 8, 2016

From ITF document: "In fact at Wimbledon 2015 she [Sharapova] had used Mildronate 6 times in the past 7 days..."
