Ukrainian gets life ban
KIEV, Aug 30: Ukrainian heptathlete Lyudmila Blonska was given a lifetime ban on Friday after testing positive for an anabolic steroid at the Olympic Games.
Blonska, 30, who was stripped of the heptathlon silver medal at Beijing Olympics, tested positive for methyltestosterone on Aug. 17.
The Ukrainian athletics federation (UAF) said Blonska was given the stiffest punishment because it was her second doping offence.—Reuters
