Hingis shows the strain as she confirms her retirement
Martina Hingis has retired from tennis after revealing she tested positive for cocaine at this year's Wimbledon.
The Swiss star denied ever taking drugs and said the accusations against her were "horrendous and monstrous".
"I have tested positive, but I have never taken drugs and I feel 100% innocent," said the 27-year-old 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."
Hingis, a five-time Grand Slam champion and former Wimbledon winner, lost in the third round at the All England Club to Laura Granville.
She then underwent a routine drugs test, carried out under the auspices of the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

Plastic "temperature strips" which are attached to the vial should not be used to measure the temperature. Current widespread practice is for collection facilities to allow temperature certification within a range of 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
