John McEnroe: 'If a drug's legal, taking it is a no-brainer'
Seven-time grand-slam winner John McEnroe has said he has no issue with a player taking a legal drug, even if it has performance-enhancing qualities.
"If a drug is legal? That is like a no-brainer. I mean, are you kidding?" McEnroe told 5 live Sports Extra.
"People have been looking since the beginning of time for an edge, and you're constantly looking for these things in any way, shape or form," he added.
McEnroe's comments come less than a week after Maria Sharapova announced she had tested positive for meldonium during the Australian Open.
