Ukrainian Kristina Antoniychuk has been suspended from tennis for 14 months for doping. The word doping might sound bad, but before you go jumping on the 19-year-old, she was not taking call from Wayne Odesnik.
Antoniychuk apparently was taking some kind of prescription and it has the banned substance, diuretic furosemide, during the Mexican Open this past February. While the ITF accepted her explanation, they don't give a damn.
What you put in your mouth is your own fault, that is basically their views.
She can come back and play in April 21, 2011. Her results since the date she tested positive will be disqualified.

"Furosemide (INN) or frusemide (former BAN) is a loop diuretic used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and edema. It is most commonly marketed by Sanofi-Aventis under the brand name Lasix. It has also been used to prevent thoroughbred and standardbred race horses from bleeding through the nose during races.
Along with some other diuretics, furosemide is also included on the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned drug list due to its alleged use as a masking agent for other drugs."
