Maria bilked us all!

A sad day for sports and for sports lovers. Maria Sharapova's declaration of drug use has disappointed many. She has been a role-model and a charmer who reached great heights in women's tennis. She reached the top rank at the age of eighteen and went on to win five Grand Slam titles. 
She revealed yesterday at a press conference of having failed the drug test at 2016 Australian Open. Fans and fellow players have screamed 'fault'. Every tennis follower feels bilked. 
That's our word this week - Bilk. It means to cheat or swindle or defraud.
