London: Maria Sharapova said she fought for the truth so she can end her career on her terms. The former world number one was initially banned for two years after failing a doping test before having it reduced to 15 months on appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.


"You want to end your career or a chapter in your life on your terms and in your voice, and to be in a moment where you felt like it could have ended on someone else’s terms was difficult to accept. And that's why I fought for the truth. You don’t realise how much you love something and how much something means to you until you lose it," Sharapova said.
