23 May 2008 [22:22] - TODAY.AZ
The Spanish women's field hockey team could be banned from the Beijing Olympics 2008 if "B"-doping tests of two of its players taken in Baku give positive results.
Results of the test will be available in 2 weeks, Day.Az news agency reports.

"A"-doping test has given positive results for 2 of Spain's team players. Their names are not disclosed by International Hockey Federation until official results of "B"-test are available.

According to international rules, if more than one player tests positive, whole team is disqualified. In that case Azerbaijan national team will replace Spain in Beijing Olympics as it has lost its last game to Spain in qualification finals.
