MADRID, Nov 12: Martina Hingis will have to wait for help from the WTA Tour in her fight to clear her name after being accused of testing positive for cocaine at Wimbledon.

WTA Tour President Stacy Allaster said on Sunday that the women’s tour will only get involved after tennis’ doping authorities hand over a report on the case.

“We let that process happen independently and then, depending on the findings of the tennis anti-doping committee, we’ll be there to support Martina,” Allaster said at the Sony Ericsson Championships. “What relates to becoming involved in the (current) process, the tour is not involved.”

Hingis made a surprise appearance the season-ending championships, which the five-time Grand Slams champion won twice, over the weekend.

“I personally haven’t seen her, but she’s part of our tennis family, and I’m glad she joined us here,” Allaster said.—AP
