Former tennis star Jennifer Capriati crushes Maria Sharapova for failed drug test

After Maria Sharapova announced Monday that she had failed a drug test at the Australian Open, many in the media and tennis world reacted with sympathy and understanding.

As ESPN's T.J. Quinn pointed out, Sharapova tested positive for meldonium, which had been legal until two months ago. Sharapova's mistake could have been viewed as a minor slip in an otherwise impressive career, but one former tennis star wasn't so forgiving. Hall of Famer Jennifer Capriati ripped Sharapova in a series of tweets after the press conference, and while she never said Sharapova's name, it's clear Capriati was aiming her rant at the Russian star.
