Maria Sharapova’s Doping Admission Causes a Racket

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 10, 2016

Maria Sharapova, the highest paid female athlete in the world, has admitted to testing positive for the banned drug meldonium.

Here to explain what that means, for the tennis star and for the sport: Cindy Boren, sports reporter for The Washington Post.

Boren explained that Sharapova had received several emails warning her about the impending change in banned drugs, but apparently she either didn't see them or ignored them.
