At least she is open about it and isn't fighting the decision.

and she'll never do it again  I hate these two year bans.....banned for lifetime as a pro/elite is more fitting. Once you've crossed that line...you'll just try to stay ahead of being caught.

Or at the very least a 10+ year ban such that they will be out of their prime.

did anyone watch the IM. The number of Germans placing high was overwhelming. Makes you wonder as another German female triathlete that I believe runnerup to Kraft at IM-Germany is currently having some little problems concerning drug use.
I had the pleasure of running against a Polish woman coming off a ban. Like I stood a chance

There was always speculation about East German women and drug use. Intresting to see how this plays out

I never understood that speculation... just because they had deep voices, shaved daily and could bench press more than the East German men....
