Tasmanian weight-lifters banned from competition
Two of Australia's most promising female weight-lifters have been banned from competition for two years after testing positive to a banned substance at the national titles last year.
Tasmanians Jenna Myers and Camilla Fogagnolo tested positive to the banned stimulant benzylpiperazine in October.
Both weight-lifters have maintained they had no prior knowledge of its presence in a weight loss supplement they had taken.
The athletes were ordered to pay a $1,000 contribution towards the Australian Weight-lifting Federation's court costs.
