Hingis makes drugs test admission

Martina Hingis has admitted she is under investigation for a positive test
for cocaine at this year's Wimbledon.

The 27-year-old Swiss star was speaking in Zurich as she announced her
retirement for the second time on Thursday.

"I have tested positive but I have never taken drugs and I feel 100%
innocent," Hingis said in a statement.

"The reason I have come out with this is because I do not want to have a
fight with anti-doping authorities."

She added: "Because of my age and my health problems I have also decided to
retire from professional tennis."

The five-time Grand Slam champion told a news conference she failed a drugs
test during this year's Wimbledon.

Hingis first retired in 2003 because of persistent injuries before returning
to top-flight tennis at the start of 2006 and winning three more titles. She
brought her season to a premature end last month because of hip problems but
had vowed to return to action.

Hingis ended 2006 ranked seventh in the world and is currently number 19.
