Details of Martina Hingis's positive dope test at Wimbledon this year might never be revealed if an anti-doping tribunal rules in her favor, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) said Friday.

Former world number one tennis player Martina Hingis of Switzerland speaks during a news conference where she announced her retirement in Zurich, November 1, 2007. [Agencies] The former world No. 1 Hingis announced her retirement from professional tennis after saying she had tested positive for cocaine, though she denied taking the drug.

The five-time grand slam champion from Switzerland said: "I have no desire to spend the next several years of my life reduced to fighting against the doping officials. I am frustrated and angry."

Hingis said she found the accusation "so horrendous, so monstrous, that I have decided to confront it head-on by talking to the press."

The London-based ITF is in charge of administering dope tests and a spokesman explained yesterday that the organization's rules prohibited comment on or publication of a positive test until any subsequent appeals had run their course.

Unlike in athletics, where officials release a name as soon A and B samples have been analyzed even if the athlete maintains his or her innocence, the ITF publishes details only after a player has been to an anti-doping tribunal and lost the case.

If the tribunal finds in the player's favor then details of the positive tests are never revealed.
