SAO PAULO (AP) — The Brazilian athletics federation says it has issued a warning to shot putter Geisa Arcanjo after she failed a doping test at last year's junior worlds championships in Canada, where she won a gold medal.
Arcanjo tested positive for the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide, but the federation's disciplinary commission voted 4-1 to issue the warning instead of the maximum two-year suspension.
Arcanjo had said the doping probably was caused by a tea she had been drinking to keep her from gaining weight.
She has been temporarily suspended by the international athletics federation since last October.
