In a stunning turn of events, Martina Hingis announced on Thursday that she is currently under investigation for testing positive for cocaine at Wimbledon this year.

“I have tested positive but I have never taken drugs and I feel 100 percent innocent,” Hingis said in a brief statement.

Hingis has struggled in recent months with injuries and health problems. Hingis ended her season a month ago after having problems with her hip and said she would take as long as she needed to recover. However, the drug allegations seem to be totally out of character for Hingis.

Since returning, Hingis has beaten top players and won 3 titles including the Italian Open last year. Hingis has struggled since reaching the fourth round at Indian Wells. She finished 2006 ranked 7th, and is currently 19th.

Hingis retired in 2003 after long bouts with ankle injuries.
