The Spanish skater Laura Barker was removed for six years for doping
The Spanish skater Laura Barker was removed for six years for violating anti -doping rules. It is reported by Hielo Espanol.
The reason was that in the doping test of a foreign athlete, which she passed during the 2022 Olympic Games, a forbidden drug Klostbole was discovered. It is noted that the World Anti -Doping Agency (WADA), the International Union of Skatytsy (ISU) and Barkero entered into an agreement on the terms of disqualification.
Barkero, along with Marco Dzandron, performed in steam skating at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, where she took 11th place. In July 2024, she ended her career.
In January 2024, the sports arbitration court disqualified the Russian skater Kamil Valiev for four years. In the sample of the skater from December 2021, traces of the forbidden drug trimetazidin were discovered. Because of this, the Russian national team lost the gold of the Olympic Games team-2022 (the rest of the team, after recalculating the points, should receive bronze medals).
