How do you solve a problem like Maria's?

Ed Harry looks at the fallout from Maria Sharapova's failed drug test.

Sport Today examines the implications of Maria Sharapova's failed drug test. We're joined by the 2008 Olympic 100 metres finalist, Jeanette Kwakye as well as experts from the fields of anti-doping and sports marketing. What is Meldonium and why was Sharapova taking it? Is negligence, failing to read the updated advice emailed by WADA, ever a defence? What kind of a sanction can she expect and how damaged is her public image?
