Chinese Taipei gymnast suspended by FIG

What a pity, an eighteen year old Aerobic gymnast has tested positive for the banned substance Hydrochlorothiazide.

Silly girl in my opinion. 

Gymnast Shih-Hui Chiu (TPE) is suspended for a period of 24 months, starting from the day of the doping test on November 3, 2008 up to and including November 2, 2010.
