Russian gymnast (and one of my favourites) Kristina Goryunova has been banned for a year following the discovery she tested positive for furosemide, the same drug that Daiane dos Santos and Do Thi Ngan Thuong tested positive for, Do at Beijing.
Apparantly she didn't know what she took contained the banned substance, she was just trying to lose weight. These drugs seem to be coming up more often than they used to.
Because she has been banned more than six months Kristina is now unable to compete at the London olympics in 2012. If we're honest it was unlikely that she would make the team anyway, but even so.
Let's hope her little sister has more success.
Oh Kristina.
