Karatantcheva banned over doping offence

Women’s world number 41 Sesil Karatantcheva has been banned for two years after being found guilty of a doping offence.

The independent Anti-Doping Tribunal found the Bulgarian 16-year-old had committed a doping offence after samples she provided on May 31 at Roland Garros and another out of competition test in Tokyo on July 5 tested positive for the prohibited steroid nandrolone.
