Andy Murray has expressed disappointment at his racquet sponsor Head's support for Maria Sharapova after the five-time grand slam winner admitted failing a drugs test.
The company released a statement today claiming it was proud to be associated with the Russian just three days after her revelation that she had tested positive for meldonium at the Australian Open.
Head also announced the intention to extend Sharapova's contract, even though she is facing a possible four-year ban from tennis, and Murray was baffled by the approach from a company he has used throughout his career.
Speaking at a press conference in Indian Wells ahead of his participation in the BNP Paribas Open, the Scot said: "I think it's a strange stance given everything that's happened the last few days.
"I don't really know what else to say on that, but that's not something I believe.
