French Open declines to hand Maria Sharapova a wild card

Sharapova tested positive for meldonium at the 2016 Australian Open and her original two-year ban was reduced on appeal.

Maria Sharapova has not been handed a wild card into this year's French Open, tournament organisers have announced on Facebook.

The 30-year-old former world number one has competed at three events since returning to competitive tennis following her 15-month doping suspension.
