Ukrainian bobsledder Lidiia Hunko has tested positive for a prohibited substance during the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games, the International Testing Agency (ITA) said on Friday.
Hunko, who finished 20th in the women’s monobob, is the third athlete to test positive during the Games.
The ITA said she tested positive on Feb. 14 in Yanqing where the competition took place and she has been suspended provisionally.
“The athlete also has the right to request the analysis of the B-sample,” the ITA, in charge of doping tests during the Olympics, said.
Her team could not be immediately reached for a comment.
Iranian Alpine skier Hossein Saveh-Shemshaki and Ukrainian cross-country skier Valentyna Kaminska are the other doping cases during the Games that end on Sunday.
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva’s positive test was taken in December but was not confirmed until the Games were already underway.
