Justine Henin brought some much-needed order to the Australian Open today against a backdrop of crowd trouble, professional gambling and harsher drug bans. Police have defended their use of pepper spray on Greek fans last night while championship organisers could ban full-strength beer from the grounds following the violence and a reported indecent assault against a 12-year-old girl on Monday. World No 1 Henin eased into the third round of the women's singles with a 6-1,7-5 win over Russia's Olga Poutchkova and then backed new hard-line measures on positive drugs tests put forward by Larry Scott, chief executive of the WTA Tour. "I think as soon as you've tested positive you should be suspended," agreed the Belgian. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
