TENNIS: Martina Hingis has been handed a two-year ban after being found guilty of a doping offence, the International Tennis Federation announced today.

The 27-year-old Swiss star was found to have tested positive for a metabolite of cocaine while competing at Wimbledon last year.

Hingis, who has since retired from the sport, has also had to forfeit ranking points and prize money from Wimbledon and any subsequent tournaments.
