BLONSKA was disqualified after it was found she had taken the
anabolic steroid methyltestosterone and she was later banned for Life.
Her husband, Sergeii, an athlete was also banned for life.
In 2002 at the European Championships she finished thirteenth and soon thereafter
tested positive for steroids. Hence the life ban in 2008. Some people never learn.
OK, not a sporting hero.
