Tennis Star Busted For Cocaine!

Filed under: Zportz > Francophilia

ap070111085552_p.jpg

French tennis player Richard Gasquet acknowledged yesterday that he was informed by officials that he had tested positive for cocaine use, but he fervently insists he is still innocent.

In a statement he released on Sunday, he says: “I am gathering together proof of my innocence, and I will choose an appropriate moment to express myself.”

Sources are saying the athlete was tested twice and both reports came back positive. If convicted, Gasquet faces a two year ban from the sport.

We want to know how exactly he will prove his innocence. Perhaps he should sit down with Manny Ramirez's people. They came up with a great story for him.

    Ok, so this report definitely doesn't help this guy's image. Last year all he did was deny that he was gay … maybe that affected how he played and cocaine was something to help him get his mind off the pressures of tennis? I hope he gets things straightened out … he had a lot of promise in the tennis world!

    Ohh Richard. Too bad, he's sooooooo talented. And wasting it, just like Hingis. Oh and Mario, he should spike your interest anyways. The boy is gayer than a 3 dollar bill.
