Two of Guo's teammates on the Hebei provincial team, Zhang Jun and Gao Lin, tested positive for prohibited substances following the National Championships in March. As a result the team will face a two-year ban from national competition on all levels.

"The ban is very likely to make Guo unable to compete in the National Games and then force her to end her career after the Beijing Games," according to Sohu.com. "The case will lead to some devastating effects for Hebei, one of the elite diving teams in China."

This is China's first-ever drug case in the sport of diving, according to the website.

Xin Evening Post, a newspaper based in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, claimed the prohibited substances were in diet pills the divers were taking to lose weight.

Henin calls it quits

Women's world No 1 Justine Henin rocked the tennis world by announcing her retirement from competitive tennis.

Henin, who will celebrate her 26th birthday on June 1, headed the official WTA rankings released Monday for the 117th consecutive week, but pulled out of the Rome Masters this week blaming tiredness.

Having seven Grand Slam titles to her name and almost $20 million in career earnings since she joined the WTA Tour in 1999, She has been struggling this year to reach the level of form that has earned her the last three titles at Roland Garros.

She admitted last week she was lacking confidence just two weeks prior to the defense of her French Open crown.

Henin has been beaten four times in four months this year including a 6-2, 6-0 hammering by Serena Williams in Miami last month.
