Russian Olympic Champion-Tatyana Lysenko Fails Drug Test

Tatyana Lysenko, Russia's Olympic and double world hammer champion, is the latest athlete from Russia who is suspended for doping.

The IAAF said 2012 London's gold medalist tested positive for banned substance.

Lysenko served a 2-year ban for steroid use in 2007. 

Russia is banned from the International athletics competition while it deals doping in the country.

The suspension was imposed last year after a World Anti-Doping Agency report alleged systematic, state-sponsored doping had taken place.

Russia is dealing to persuade the sport's authorities it has done enough to tackle doping to have the suspension lifted so Russia's athletes can challenge at summer's Olympic Games, Rio.

A decision is likely to be taken at an IAAF Council meeting next month.

Lysenko's suspension will be provisional while further tests are carried out, the IAAF said.
