Sharapova to face anti-doping panel in London

Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova is to face an anti-doping panel in London, after testing positive for a banned drug in January.

The former world number said she was not aware that a heart disease drug she had been medically prescribed, had been banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Sharapova was provisionally suspended from tennis pending the hearing.
