Beijing 2008 Olympics[]

Two Romanian runners test positive for EPO[]

Middle distance runners Elena Antoci and Cristina Vasiloiu tested positive for EPO and will be out of the 2008 Olympics.

Octavian Morariu, the head of the committee, said an initial test from a laboratory in Lausanne, Switzerland, showed EPO and he is awaiting results of a second test.

“When we left for the Olympics I had the results for all the athletes, except these two,” head of the Romanian Olympic committee, Octavian Morariu told Real itatea TV from Beijing. “If there is the tiniest doubt about them, they will not compete.”

Another Romanian runner Liliana Popescu failed a doping test in July 2008. All runners had the same coach.

Antoci and Vasiloiu were to compete in the 1,500-meter race. The developments in Romania came on the same day seven Russian female athletes were provisionally suspended by the IAAF for doping-related matters.

The Romanian National Institute for Sporting Medicine first tested Antoci and Vasiloiu on July 16, 2008, and asked for more tests, outside Romania.

Romanian middle distance runner Liliana Popescu, who runs the 800 and 1,500, was dropped from the Olympics team in July 2008, after failing a doping test. She has the same Romanian trainer as Antoci and Vasiloiu - Eleodor Rosca. Neither of the runners nor Rosca has commented on the tests.
