Weightlifter Robles plans to compete in Rio after ban


(Reuters) - Weightlifter Sarah Robles, who was handed a two-year drugs suspension by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), said she accepts her ban but hopes to compete in 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

A member of the U.S. team at the 2012 London Olympics, Robles tested positive for the presence of an exogenous androgenic anabolic steroid in an out-of-competition and two in-competition urine samples collected by both USADA and the International Weightlifting Federation, the U.S. drug agency said in a statement.
