Three Brazilians banned for two years

Three Brazilian athletes have been suspended for two years after testing positive for a banned substance, the Brazilian Athletics Confederation (CBAt) said on Thursday.
Sprinters Bruno Tenorio and Jorge Celio Sena and heptathlete Lucimara Silvestre, who tested positive for Recombinant EPO, waived their right to have their B samples examined to avoid a possible more stringent punishment, a CBAt statement on their Web site (www.cbat.org.br) said. The suspension runs until June 2011. They were among five Brazilian athletes who tested positive for the same substance at Presidente Prudente in Brazil in June and had been training in Germany ahead of the world championships in Berlin.
