Romanian long jumper Iusco banned for doping


PARIS: Romanian long jumper Florentina Iusco will not compete at the Paris Olympics after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) yesterday partially upheld an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) after she tested positive for a banned substance.

Iusco tested positive for furosemide, a diuretic on WADA’s prohibited list, in an out-of-competition doping control in April last year.
