Spanish figure skater Laura Barkero, who competes in pair skating with Marco Zandron, explained the doping in her body at the Beijing Olympics. It is reported by the publication Marca.
The banned substance found in the athlete’s doping test could have entered her body through the cream. The figure skater used it to heal cuts she received from skate blades.
On February 22, it became known that in the sample of a 20-year-old athlete dated February 18, the banned drug clostebol, which is an anabolic steroid, was detected. In the near future, the case will be transferred to the anti-doping department of the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
This is the fourth positive doping test at the 2022 Olympics. Prior to this, banned substances were found in the blood of Iranian skier Hussein Saveh-Shemshaki, Ukrainian skier Valentina Kaminskaya and her compatriot, bobsledder Lydia Gunko. In addition, at the Games it became known about the positive doping test of the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. She passed the test at the Russian Championship on December 25, 2021.
