She's awaiting the outcome of an anti-doping committee hearing after failing a drug test at the Australian Open in March.

But Maria Sharapova seemed determined to keep her mind off the possible four-year ban and focused on a grueling workout with her trainer instead.

And the 29-year-old tennis pro made sure to keep her flawless figure in shape as she proved in skintight gym gear on Wednesday.

Sweat sesh! Maria Sharapova, 29, got in a workout by the beach in Los Angeles on Wednesday

The Russian beauty showed off her perfectly toned legs in form-fitting black workout tights while bending and stretching.

Her silky blonde tresses were swept back in a high ponytail as she jogged alongside her hunky trainer on a Los Angeles beach.

She wore a matching spandex top from Nike - ironically a brand that suspended their relationship with Maria once news broke of her drug failure.

The five-time grand slam champion tested positive for the banned drug meldonium, an anti-ischemic drug usually prescribed for heart conditions.

It was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)'s banned substances list on January 1 and the blonde beauty stated it was the result of an oversight.

She released a statement explaining her use of the medicine and took full responsibility for the results.

'For the past ten years I have been given a medicine called mildronate by my family doctor,' she explained. 'It also has another name of meldonium which I did not know.'

Maria continued: 'For ten years this medicine was not on WADA's banned list and I had legally been taking the medicine for the past ten years.'

'But on January 1st the rules had changed and meldonium became a prohibited substance which I had not known. I was given this medicine by my doctor for several health issues that I was having in 2006.'

The former world No 1 champion is now awaiting the outcome of an anti-doping committee hearing, which was held last week, with a four-year ban as the maximum possible punishment.

Meldonium inventor Ivars Kalviņs told Radio Free Europe that he didn't think taking it should be construed as 'doping' but he also said that it 'optimises the use of oxygen.'

Sharapova said she had not read an email informing her meldonium was banned for use on a WADA and United States Anti-Doping Agency summary document.

It has been reported that all tennis players were warned five times that it was due to be banned but Sharapova denied reports about the five missed warnings.

On her Facebook page she took responsibility but stated the warnings were 'buried in newsletters, websites, or handouts (many of them technical, in small print).'
