The Romanian gymnast who controversially snagged bronze over Olympic star Jordan Chiles two years ago has been temporarily suspended from the sport after being hit with a doping violation. Romania’s Ana Maria Barbosu, 19, was charged with an anti-doping rule violation and slapped with a provisional suspension after dodging three drug tests within a 12-month span, according to the International Testing Agency. Olympic athletes are required to log daily whereabouts – including a one-hour testing window – during the off-season and any three missed tests or filing failures in a year count as a doping violation, officials said.
