Also surprised someone who is quite marketable has been popped.

The question must be asked: who did the Russians piss off?
Or who pissed off the Russians? The first question to ask whenever something bad happens to a Russian, whether inside or outside the country, is "Why did Putin want this to happen?". The best that you can hope for when you fall out of favour with the Kremlin is that when they throw you under the bus, they do it metaphorically rather than literally.

The question must be asked: who did the Russians piss off? They are certainly not alone in all of this, but they are getting pinged let, right and centre. Sharapova gets popped but Nadal's blood bags get destroyed (anecdotally of course).
Of course as someone pointed out on the previous page, failing a drugs test isn't about testing positive, it's about being stupid (Tiernan-Locke, Ricco etal), so perhaps the Ruskies are just being too damn blatent about it. But a big name like Sharapova, with all that brand power and serious wedge behind her, making a stupid mistake like this? Very surprising.
Life-pro tip: always read your emails.
