Beijing, Feb 22: Spanish figure skater Laura Barquero has become the fourth athlete to fail a doping test at the Beijing Olympics after testing positive for the banned steroid clostebol, the International Testing Agency said on Tuesday.
Barquero and her partner Marco Zandron finished 11th in the pairs competition, which came to a conclusion on Saturday.
The ITA said her positive sample was given after the short program on Friday and the case will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
As well as Barquero’s case, there were positive tests in Beijing for Iranian Alpine skier Hossein Saveh Shemshaki and two Ukrainians, cross-country skier Valentyna Kaminska and bobsledder Lidiia Hunko. (AP)
