Kostner Banned from Skating

The Italian Olympic bronze medalist can't compete for 16 months for her involvement in a cover-up of Olympic gold medal race-walker Alex Schwazer's doping.

She says she panicked and lied at his request when drug testers came a-knockin' in 2012. She's appealing the case through the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but has taken the year off from competition anyway.
