Svetlana was found positive with ephedrine, it's common used for helping the body to fight against cold.

The "overweight fines" system works well in soccer...
...Not that we encourage its use in gym or something, but a Romanian soccer club ( FCM Bacau) have used last Christmas this way, to prevent their players getting overweight. The announced fine was like $130 for each extra kilo (this is a monthly income for a worker in that region, Moldavia, the poorest in the country, where Raducan come from). Back from the holidays, all the players from that soccer club have passed the weight test-no fine was needed. For the moment, Belu can only dream about this, most of the girls get 3...7 kilos during past few months, due to the less training, age body changes and...Christmas delicacies."I've got myself only six kilos in last two years (after retire), but also I've got 7cm in height-says former team member Oana Petrovschi, being herself amazement about girls weight."

[Jan 14] Girls overweight problem, Belu's comments and fans reaction
"Of course a coach can't threat, abuse, humiliate an athlete to make her lose weight, as happened in the romanian team since 1975 . What bothers me is the way Belu expresses himself in the matter. The way he talks about his gymnasts shows his lack of respect for them..."(click for more)

[Jan 10] Tarom will fly again to New York, Canada and Beijing
In a live show, Monday evening, at Romanian TV station "Realitatea", the Romanian new President, Mr.Traian Basescu, said that "Canceling the flight to overseas destinations to US, Canada and China (by the former leftist Government, replaced last November) was a big error and we must have again these flights back; this is not a must-for -profit problem, it's a matter of national symbol-having our own flights over the ocean or continents." For Romanians living abroad or US gymnastics fans who may consider visiting Romania or coming at Ploiesti International Championships, this may be a good news, since Tarom prices were usually 10-45 % lower than what other companies have on same destination.
