On International Women’s Day, of all days.
Reporting on the reaction to news that Maria Sharapova had admitted to doping during the Australian Open, Newstalk host Pat Kenny did not exactly cover himself in glory.
Announcing over the airwaves that the radio station’s listeners were offering to make babies with the tennis player may not have been his brightest move on International Women’s Day.
''A lot of our listeners willing to help Maria Sharapova make babies while she's banned.'' Pat Kenny. WTF?

Not his finest hour.
The 28-year-old Sharapova failed a test for meldonium, a substance recently banned that she has been taking for health reasons since 2006.
“I did fail the test and take full responsibility for it,” said Sharapova, who won Wimbledon as a 17-year-old in 2004.
