Martina Hingis

Martina Hingis has admitted she is under investigation for a positive test for cocaine at this year's Wimbledon.

"I have tested positive, but I have never taken drugs and I feel 100% innocent," said the Swiss former world number one in a statement.

"The reason I have come out with this is because I do not want to have a fight with anti-doping authorities."

She added: "Because of my age and my health problems, I have also decided to retire from professional tennis."

Hingis, a five-time Grand Slam champion and former Wimbledon winner, lost in the third round at the All England Club to Laura Granville.

In a statement, WTA Tour chief executive Larry Scott said his organisation knew nothing about any drugs test failure by Hingis.

"We have not received any official information regarding the positive doping test result referred to by Martina Hingis in her press conference, and as a result we are not in a position to comment on the matter," he said.

"However, it is important to remember that in the area of anti-doping, all players are presumed innocent until proven otherwise."

A spokesperson for the Swiss tennis association told BBC Sport: "Our association makes it very clear that drugs is not, in any way, part of our sport.

"It is sad to hear this news, but we have yet to have been informed of the details from the tests."

Hingis first retired in 2003 because of persistent injuries before returning to top-flight tennis at the start of 2006 and winning three more titles.

She brought her season to a premature end last month because of hip problems but had vowed to return to action.

Hingis ended 2006 ranked seventh in the world and is currently number 19.

Yes, that is the real reason Martina. :rolleyes:

I quite enjoy the excuses sports stars come out with ater testing positive for drugs.

Why, Martina, why? :cry:

You were the sports love of my life.

You gave the best interviews EVER.

And you even convincingly modelled for a dishwasher/washing machine/electric stove company.
