Disciplinary measures: CRACKING DOWN AND EASING UP!

* fig-press: ---  Acting on the recommendation of its Disciplinary Commission, the FIG Presidential Commission ruled on the doping cases involving gymnast Daiane dos Santos (BRA) and acrobatic gymnast Alisa Usmanova (BLR).

Alisa Usmanova, a member of the Byelorussian female acrobatic gymnastic trio, was suspended for the period of one year starting January 27, 2010.
Traces of the same substance had been detected in a sample taken from the Byelorussian gymnast on October 3,  at the 2009 Acrobatic Gymnastics European Championships in Vila do Conde, Portugal.
As a result of her suspension, Usmanova has been disqualified from that competition.
This will have a bearing on the final ranking, as the trio disappears altogether from the list.
Third in the all-around, the position falls to Great Britain. In Balance Beam, the Silver goes to Ukraine and the Bronze to Belgium. Both decisions have come into force. The two gymnasts, along with the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA), have the right to appeal to the FIG Appeal Tribunal or the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) respectively within 21 days of notification.
