Following IAAF's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for sport, her ban was extended to 3 years for aggravating circumstances. In addition to the positive for two prohibited substances her biological passport data showed that she had been blood doping between June 2012 and February 2013.[4]

The IAAF later confirmed that her results since 28 June 2012 had all been voided and she was stripped of her European Championship title and 5th-place finish at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[6]
