Maria Sharapova 'never doubted' tennis career would continue

(CNN) Maria Sharapova always knew her drugs ban would not be the way her tennis career would end.

The five-time grand slam champion will return to the sport in April 2017 after serving a 15-month suspension for testing positive for the banned substance meldonium at the Australian Open in January.

Sharapova was initially banned for two years by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), but the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reduced the sanction by nine months, saying she bore "no significant fault or negligence."

The panel concluded that while she did commit a doping violation, she was not an "intentional doper."

"I knew this was never the way I going to finish my career and I was going to do it on my terms... I never doubted that," Sharapova told CNN.

The 29-year-old Russian added: "I know who I am and I know how I've played the sport since I was a young girl, with integrity, I've never taken the easy way out, I'm one of the biggest fighters in the game.

"I love what I do and I will continue to keep doing it and forming with my legacy."
