Maria Sharapova has lost sponsorship deals with Nike, Tag Heuer and Porsche after she announced she had failed a drugs test at last year's Australian Open.
The 28-year-old said she took "full responsibility" for testing positive for meldonium, a substance she had been taking to treat "health issues" since 2006.
Speaking at a press conference in Los Angeles yesterday, she told reporters she was not aware the medicine had been banned on January 1st 2016.
Sharapova has been provisionally suspended with effect from March 12 by the International Tennis Federation.
