Maria Sharapova has been banned for two years by the International Tennis Federation for using a prohibited drug.

The Russian was provisionally banned in March after testing positive for Meldonium at January’s Australian Open.

The heart disease drug which 29-year-old Sharapova said she has been taking since 2006 for health issues, became a banned substance on in January this year.

The five-time Grand Slam winner said she cannot accept the unfairly harsh ban and will appeal.
