Performance Enhancement Drug Use

On April 24, 2012, The Russian athletics federation sanctioned Meleshina with a 2 year ban from competition retroacted to Feb. 21, 2012, following a positive drug test in February of the same year. Thus, eliminating her bid for the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London.
