Other information |
SANCTION In June 2015 she tested positive for excessive testosterone in an out-of-competition test at a training camp in Greece. She claimed the positive test was a result of a tainted supplement purchased at a store in Greece that she was advised to take by her coach and the store manager. A FINA doping panel initially found she was at fault and suspended her for four years, but the ban was later reduced to two years on appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport [CAS], ending 28 June 2017. FINA said it agreed to cut her ban to two years because she "could identify the source in contaminated supplements and had promptly admitted the anti-doping rule violation". (fina.org, 01 Jan 2018; espn.co.uk, 08 Dec 2016; swimswam.com, 02 Dec 2016) |
Other sports |
She has represented the Russian Federation in finswimming and won gold medals at the world championships in 2011, 2013 and 2018. (SportsDeskOnline, 13 Dec 2021; infosport.ru, 01 Jan 2018) |
