Hugs or drugs for Hingis?

I’m on a serious sugar-high right now because of my caramel macchiato. But it isn’t anything to what Martina Hingis was accused of doing. I know the coffee bean is right up there with cocaine, but at the end of the day, the cocaine is going to trump coffee every time for a good-time high.

Earlier today, Hingis went on the record and announced she had been accused by an “outsource testing company” of taking cocaine during Wimbledon. Hingis lost in the third round to Laura Granville, 6-4, 6-2.

On the heels of her accusation announcement, Hingis reported she would be retiring from professional tennis. The 27-year-old Swiss decided the years it could take to clear her name wasn’t worth trying to continue to play at the top of the game anymore.

Hingis was naturally “shocked and appalled” at the accusations and had this to say about the alleged cocaine use.

“They say that cocaine increases self-confidence and creates a type of euphoria. I don’t know. I only know that if I were to try to hit the ball while in any state of euphoria, it simply wouldn’t work.”

Well – if Hingis says it won’t work, then it won’t work, right? On a side note, the WTA Tour has not received any official information about a positive test. Hold the phone, the WTA Tour hasn’t heard the official word about a positive test?  Then what is all the hoop-a-la about? Check in at Gossip on Sports tomorrow for some answers to that.

So – the accusations fly, Hingis is denying and Andy Murray is officially off the front page for his fender bender. The bottom line?  Cocaine – just say no.
