Chinese Taipei gymnast suspended by FIG

24 July 2009 No Comment

What a pity, an eighteen year old Aerobic gymnast has tested positive for the banned substance Hydrochlorothiazide. It’s strange that she would be taking a medication which is usually used to treat blood pressure and is a diurectic meaning that it prevents the kidneys from retaining water, so I wonder what her reasons were. 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.

Competing for Chinese Taipei, Mr CHIU Shih-Hui (18 years old) tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic included on the list of prohibited substances and methods established by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
