MARIA SHARAPOVA WEARS NIKE TO THE GYM THOUGH THE SPORTS GIANT HAS DUMPED HER

Russian Tennis star, Maria Sharapova, 28,  stepped out wearing Nike to the gym and driving her Porche to the supemarket though both brands have stopped any future dealings with her and she has lost at least  $14million in the last 24 hours following her admission on Monday that she had failed a drug test at the Australian Open.
Maria wore Nike leggings and sweatshirt though Nike called off an eight year-contract extended in 2010 valued at about $70 million following her announcement.

Sharapova was spotted driving her Porche to Whole Foods supermarket on Tuesday while wearing Nike sneakers.

Porche who have said that they will not dump Sharapova immediately however said they will not be pursuing any further activities with her. Her contract with Porsche was worth $2.8 million.

Swiss Watch brand TAG Heuer have also said they will not seek any future dealings with Sharapova and has pulled out of a new agrrement priced at $2.8 million.

Sharapova on Monday called a press conference in Los Angeles in which she admitted that a banned drug, Melodrin had been found in her system at the Australian Open. She however said she had been using the drugs for the past 10 years due to health issues and didnot know the drug had been included among the list of banned drugs at the 2016 Australian Open.

The International Tennis Federation has said that Sharapova will be suspended from the games with effect from March 12th but have not said how long her suspension will be.

Serena Williams, Sharapova's tennis rival has however said Sharapova showed a lot of courage in announcing she had failed a drug test.
