TENNIS: Martina Hingis announces her retirement following positive cocaine test

Former tennis number one Martina Hingis has admitted she tested positive for cocaine during the 2007 Wimbledon tournament, and has announced her retirement. Hingis says she is entirely innocent of the charges and describes the accusation that she took drugs as "horrendous and monstrous." However, the 27-year-old says she has no desire to spend the next few years of her life fighting the doping authorities. Hingis won five Grand Slam singles titles, including Wimbledon in 1997, when she was only sixteen.
