In February 2020, she was provisionally suspended after testing positive for the anabolic steroid boldenone.[2] As of December 2020, her case is being contested at the Court of Arbitration for Sport as she may have ingested it after eating tainted meat and in Colombia boldenone is used for fattening cattle.[3]
