Capriati’s pro tennis career began in her early teens and then stuttered before she made a comeback in the early 1990s.  She has won 14 career titles, including three Grand Slams. She also won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympics.

This isn’t the first time that she has dealt with drug issues. In May of 1994, she was busted on charges of  possession of marijuana.
