gymnast Andrea Gaddi banned

The Italian Olympic committee on Wednesday called for a doping ban.

Gymnast Andrea Gaddi could be banned for two years after traces of cocaine were found in his system following a competition in Ferrara, Italy, in November 2008.

Gaddi was 2nd on Horizontal Bat at Italian Nationals 2008.

Doping infractions are so rare in Artistic gymnastics that even stupidity-violations, like this one, are news.
