Ukrainian bobsledder Lidiia Hunko tests positive for steroids

BEIJING -- Ukrainian bobsledder Lidiia Hunko has tested positive for an anabolic steroid at the Beijing Games, the International Testing Agency said.

The ITA said Hunko failed a drug test after competing Monday. She placed 20th in women's monobob.

Hunko is the third athlete to test positive for doping at the Beijing Olympics and the second from Ukraine, after cross-country skier Valentyna Kaminska.

All three ITA cases in Beijing have detected a steroid.

Hunko, 28, placed second in the 2016 World's Strongest Woman contest, according to her official Beijing Olympics athlete biography.
