Hingis handed two-year suspension

Former world number one Martina Hingis has been handed a two-year ban after being found guilty of a doping offence.

The 27-year-old Swiss star was found to have tested positive for cocaine while competing at Wimbledon last year. The International Tennis Federation has rejected Hingis's appeal and handed out a ban starting on 1 October, 2007. Hingis, who has since retired from the sport, has also had to forfeit ranking points and prize money from Wimbledon and any subsequent tournaments.
