Cocaine Shamed Tennis Player: Gasquet Resumes After Drug Ban

Filed under: Zportz

Despite a 2 and a half month ban after testing positive for cocaine during the Miami Masters in March, France's Richard Gasquet has been cleared to pick his career back up on Wednesday.

Gasquet got it easy because he insisted that "the cocaine entered his system through inadvertent contamination in a nightclub".

Uh huh!

The details I heard said that he had just an extremely minor trace in his system, and that he claimed he got it by kissing a girl in a club.
