A very interesting story out of Reuters,says a female power lifter from the Dominican Republic -- Yudelquis Contreras -- tested positive for CERA EPO. This positive EPO is interesting because weight lifters usually use anabolic steroids, HGH, or insulin as primary anabolics. EPO would generally be utilized by more distance and endurance athletes -- cyclists and runners. Here we have a female strength athlete using EPO.
Dominican Today said the positive test had been confirmed by the Dominican Olympic Committee and the Dominican Weightlifting Federation on Wednesday.
Contreras is the sixth and final athlete to test positive for CERA after the International Olympic Committee re-tested samples taken at last year's Beijing Olympics.
The weightlifter, who finished fifth in the 53 kgs category,
faces a two-year ban.
Bahrain's Olympic 1,500 metres gold medallist Rashid Ramzi and Italian cycling road race silver medallist Davide Rebellin were among the six to test positive for the new generation of EPO.
The athletes can ask to have their B samples tested in their presence. If the B samples are positive the athletes face two-year suspensions, if they are first time offenders, and possible life bans if they have been caught cheating before.
She is actually a weightlifter, as the excerpt says. Although Olympic weightlifting contains more of a power component than actual powerlifting, they are not the same thing.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE MBTT BOOTS. I bought them after having bunion surgery on my right foot. They were the only footwear I could tolerate. They're very stylish. I get compliments on them all the time. The buckle is adjustable if you need more room in the calf. They fit great and even if my foot swells at the end of the day, they fit fine. They accomodate my left foot which still has a bunion and my right foot which had surgery, so it’s skinnier, but swells substantially from time to time. The boots fit well regardless. Took the pressure off my back and knees. My feet feel heavy towards the end of the day, but I can't blame that on these boots. They are stylish and comfortable. Great boots.

It is sad that so many sports persons are testing positive for banned substances. Competition and pressure is forcing them to use these substances. Hope some changes will be made to prevent the use of these substances.
