Maria Sharapova apparently will keep herself busy during her two-year ban from tennis for doping. The 29-year-old Russian tennis star is planning to take a two-week program this summer at the Harvard Business School, posting a photo to announce the decision.

Though a Harvard spokesman declined to comment when approached by the Associated Press on Monday, Sharapova's agent, Max Eisenbud, told the AP that the programs involves two classes on campus. Eisenbud didn't elaborate if she would earn any certification from the coursework.

Sharapova was banned for two years by the International Tennis Federation after testing positive for meldonium in January.
