Tennis star Maria Sharapova was almost in tears in early March when she told reporters in Los Angeles, California, that she tested positive for a banned drug. Sharapova said the drug meldonium came up on her test at the Australian Open in January. She said she made a “huge mistake.” Three of her major sponsors suspended their business relationships with her after the test results. The International Tennis Federation, or ITF, started an investigation in March and suspended Sharapova while it was gathering information. She was one of many athletes suspended earlier this year. Now, she and other athletes may get a chance to play again this summer in time for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil which start on August 5. The World Anti-Doping Association, known as WADA, monitors the drug-testing programs of 600 sports organizations around the world including the International Olympic Committee.
