Spanish cyclist Maria Isabel Moreno has become the first competitor
at the Beijing Olympics to fail a drugs test.
The International
Olympic Committee said on Monday that Moreno was tested on July 31
and left the city on the same evening. Moreno had been entered for
the women's road race and individual time trial and tested positive
for the endurance-boosting EPO drug. Moreno could now face a
two-year ban and under a new IOC rule could also miss the 2012
London Olympics.
