Maria Sharapova to be reinstated as UN goodwill ambassador
UN’s statement
With the 15 months expiring in April next year, UN has decided to get back the star as ambassador and help her in rehabilitating faster. “The UNDP is glad to learn that Maria Sharapova can return to the sport she loves sooner than expected and we will lift the suspension of her role as our goodwill ambassador once the reduced ban expires in April 2017,” the UN spokesperson said.
The UN’s softened stand is definitely based on fact that Sharapova is a good Samaritan. She has donated for multiple causes and worked for survivors of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
