Tennis' bad PR Continues


Remember Martina Hingis? She was the top star when Venus and Serena Williams actually cared about tennis. Well, turns out Martina has turned into the ATP's version of Lindsay Lohan. Young, talented and bothered by a nasty addiction to the white powder. According to a people.com report, Hingis tested positive to cocaine during Wimbledon. Well, at least she wasn't throwing matches because she was being paid off, she was just high.
Ms. Hingis did not deny the positive results but claims she has never done drugs. Seriously, flax seed oil does not taste like that! Martina then blamed her retirement on her nagging injures and advanced age (she is 27 after all) for her decision and not her little drug problem.
