Martina Hingis Retires - Tests Positive for Cocaine

Martina Hingis, the former #1 female tennis player in the world, announced she had tested positive for cocaine at Wimbleton and also announced her retirement.

Hingis denies she uses cocaine and stated; "I find this accusation so horrendous, so monstrous, that I have decided to confront it head-on by talking to the press."

Hingis is a fan favorite and will be missed in the tennis arena. Despite several injuries, the 27 year old tennis star not only achieved the #1 world ranking but has won five Grand Slam singles titles, nine Grand Slam women's doubles titles and two Sony Ericsson Championships titles.
