Greek hurdler tests positive Phelps: I'm clean Greek sprinter fails dope test Fina swimming results

Rio De Janeiro - The International Swimming Federation on Friday banned Brazilian star Rebeca Gusmao for life for failing two drug tests.

Lawyers for Gusmao say she'll appeal the decision.

In July, Gusmao received a second two-year doping suspension after a positive test for testosterone at a 2006 competition - a decision delayed by problems with the tests.

Gusmao also tested positive for the substance before the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro. She won two gold medals at the Pan American Games and was later stripped of the medals.
