Stahurskaya gets two-year ban
Former world champion Zinaida Stahurskaya has been banned for two years for doping. The 34 year-old Belarusian tested positive at three European races last year -
once to anabolic steroid stanozolol and twice to hormone testosterone.

"It is regrettable, but we believe that it will teach her a good lesson," Belarus cycling coach Anatoly Miklashevich told AP on Monday. Stahurskaya, who is currently
training in Italy, won the 2000 world road race title and the women's edition of the Tour de France in 2002. It is not her first positive test for doping substances, nor her
first suspension: At the Giro d'Italia Femminile in 2001, she returned a positive test for a diuretic, and at the Circuito di Massarosa in 2003, for ephedrine. She was out
of competition for four and two months respectively.

Well yes, this is old news, but you missed the article about her getting popped for dealing steroids? Like I said, Belarus bad girl, but she served her time, and she's finished like 38th in the worlds.
