Porsche has suspended its relationship with tennis star Maria Sharapova.
Sharapova recently announced that she failed a drug test in January and as a result, will no longer be an ambassador for Porsche. Other sponsors including Tag Heuer and Nike have also suspended their ties with Sharapova in light of the news.
“We regret the news about Maria Sharapova,” the German automaker said in a statement. “Until more details are known and we can analyse the situation, we have decided to suspend planned activities.”
