## Key points

- Barbosu’s two-year suspension was partially upheld.
- She is eligible to return in May 2028.
- The Paris medal dispute is due for a rehearing in May 2027.

## Summary

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has partially upheld a two-year anti-doping suspension for Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu, who was involved in the disputed bronze medal decision at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The ruling means she is due to become eligible to compete again in May 2028, two months before the next Summer Olympics.

The suspension follows three failures to provide required whereabouts information within a 12-month period, which meant Barbosu could not be located for random testing. She has said the case does not involve prohibited substances and described moving to the US to attend Stanford as a challenging transition. Separately, the CAS is due to rehear the Paris floor exercise medal case in May 2027: Jordan Chiles was initially awarded bronze after a score review, but the decision was later reversed, placing her fifth behind Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea.
