Bulgarian runner Daniela Yordanova receives 2 year doping ban

Daniela Yordanova -- Bulgarian middle distance runner -- will not be running in competitive for 2 years, following the IAAF doping ban delivered to her today.  Looks like her testosterone spiked a little too much last summer; following the positive testosterone test she was forced to skip the Beijing Olympics.

Tordanova finished 3rd in the Euro championships in 2006 in the 1500M;  she also competed in Athens at 2004 Olympics and Sydney in 2000.  To ESPN:

Middle-distance runner Daniela Yordanova has been banned for two years for doping, the Bulgarian athletics federation said on Thursday.

Yordanova, 32, tested positive for testosterone or its precursors from an out-of-competition sample given on June 13 in Sofia.

"I'm really sorry that it's happening with Yordanova but I hope that she will be morally and physically strong enough to return to the track after the end of her ban," Bulgarian federation president Dobri Karamarinov said.

Yordanova, who finished fifth in the 1,500 meters at the 2004 Athens Olympics and fifth at the European indoor championship in Valencia in March, was barred from competing at the Beijing Olympics, where she was expected to contend for a medal.

Her coach, Dimitar Vasilev, took responsibility for the drug test failure, saying it was caused by contaminated food supplements.

Bulgarian athletics has been marred by several doping offenses the past two years, with middle distance runners Vanya Stambolova and Teodora Kolarova, high jumper Venelina Veneva and hammer thrower Andrian Andreev all testing positive.

One more 'supplement' excuse.  Maybe WADA should conduct tests on supplements that make the approved list.
