Maria Sharapova targeting 2020 Tokyo Olympics, agent says

Maria Sharapova's 15-month suspension for failing a drug test is likely to extend her career all the way to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, according to the Russian's longtime agent Max Eisenbud.

The five-time major winner rocked the tennis world a year ago when she announced she had tested positive for meldonium, an over-the-counter heart medication commonly used in the countries formerly comprising the Soviet Union.

Sharapova said she hadn't realized the drug -- which she had taken for more than a decade for various health issues -- had been put on the 2016 prohibited list.

She is scheduled to return to the women's tour on April 26 at an event in Stuttgart, Germany after organizers gave her a wildcard.

"If (the suspension) didn't happen, this probably would have been her last year," IMG's Eisenbud told CNN in a phone interview. "I think she'll play through Tokyo" if healthy.

Maria Sharapova menargetkan 2020 Olimpiade Tokyo, agen mengatakan

Maria Sharapova 15 bulan suspensi karena gagal tes obat kemungkinan akan memperpanjang karirnya sampai ke Olimpiade Tokyo pada tahun 2020, menurut agen kawakan Rusia Max Eisenbud.

Lima kali juara utama mengguncang dunia tenis tahun lalu ketika dia mengumumkan ia telah diuji positif untuk meldonium, obat jantung over-the-counter umum digunakan di negara-negara yang sebelumnya terdiri dari Uni Soviet.

Sharapova mengatakan ia tidak menyadari obat - yang ia telah mengambil selama lebih dari satu dekade untuk berbagai masalah kesehatan - telah menempatkan pada 2016 daftar dilarang.

Dia dijadwalkan untuk kembali ke tur perempuan pada tanggal 26 April di sebuah acara di Stuttgart, Jerman setelah panitia memberinya wildcard.

"Jika (suspensi) tidak terjadi, ini mungkin akan menjadi tahun terakhirnya," kata IMG ini Eisenbud CNN dalam sebuah wawancara telepon. "Saya pikir dia akan bermain melalui Tokyo" jika sehat.
