Jennifer Capriati rips Maria Sharapova over failed drug test

On Monday, we learned Maria Sharapova failed a drug test at the Australian Open. After Sharapova’s announcement, a member of the tennis Hall of Fame ripped her for it.

Jennifer Capriati won three Gran Slam singles titles and ascended to the world’s No. 1 ranking so she certainly knows what it takes to make it to the top of the sport. Sharapova’s declaration clearly did not sit well with Capriati as she ripped the 28-year-old in a series of tweets.

Not that it matters to Capriati, but Meldonium was just added to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s banned list this year. Endurance performance in athletes is listed among the benefits as well as improved rehabilitation after exercise. Sharapova said she had been taking Meldonium since 2006.

Jennifer Capriati definitely isn’t the only one with a changed view of the Maria Sharapova after her admission. While we will likely hear others who share the sentiment, they may not lay into Sharapova quite like Capriati did.
