Buckeye Cocaine Addiction - Tennis Player Beats Cocaine Charges with Kiss Defense

Buckeye Cocaine Addiction - Tennis player Richard Gasquet has beaten charges of cocaine use by claiming that he ingested trace amounts of the drug by kissing a woman in a bar.

An independent anti-doping tribunal convened to hear Gasquet's defense, argued by his three attorneys. The tribunal bought the story and lifted Gasquet's suspension that was issued in March.

According to Gasquet's lawyers, the tennis player kissed a woman who had done lines of cocaine in the bathroom prior to kissing him. They claim the drug entered his bloodstream through her saliva, which is why he tested positive the next day.

The woman he kissed, however, claims she did not do cocaine the night she saw Gasquet. She also alleges that she only gave him a kiss on the cheek that night.
