The Court of Arbitration for Sport upholds a decision to ban Olympic bronze medallist Ana Barbosu for two years after three whereabouts failures.

Ana Barbosu claimed bronze in the women's floor final at the Paris 2024 Games

Olympic bronze medallist Ana Barbosu has been given a two-year ban for three whereabouts failures for anti-doping tests.

Romanian Barbosu, who won bronze in the women's floor final at the Paris Games in 2024, was initially suspended by the International Testing Agency (ITA) in May for missing three tests between September and December 2025.

Barbosu, 20, appealed against the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), who upheld the ruling after a hearing in August.

Her ban will be in place for two years from 5 May 2026, the date she was provisionally suspended.

Barbosu and World Gymnastics are also involved in a separate case with Cas relating to the medal she won in Paris.
