What is it with athletes these days and substance abuse? Athletes are role models who should follow healthy lifestyles -- isn't that one of the reasons for their success?

The latest athlete in the news about this is Martina Hingis. The five-time Grand Slam champion tested positive for cocaine, but she said that she has "never taken drugs" and that she's "one hundred percent innocent." She also claimed that her fruit drink may have been spiked.

On Thursday, November 1st, she announced her retirement from tennis for the second time. She stated that "I have no desire to spend the next several years of my life reduced to fighting against the doping officials."

Do I believe her? It's hard to since she's tested positive. Maybe her fruit drink was spiked as she claimed, but it's time for her to retire from tennis anyway to make room for some new stars!
