The International Testing Agency (or ITA) announced on Thursday, May 7, that it has charged Romanian gymnast Ana Maria Bărbosu with an Anti-Doping Rule Violation for three whereabouts failures committed within 12 months. The athlete was provisionally suspended in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code.
Athletes such as Ana Maria Barbosu are required to provide daily whereabouts and a specific 60-minute time slot each day when they will be available for testing. The purpose is to allow anti-doping organisations to locate athletes for unannounced out-of-competition testing.
