Spain cleared over hockey doping

Gloria Comerma was cleared of any wrongdoing over her doping violation

Spain's women's hockey team will go to the Olympics after two players were cleared of doping violations.

Gloria Comerma and another unnamed player tested positive at a qualifying tournament in April in Azerbaijan but Spain claim their food was sabotaged.

But the International Hockey Federation found Comerma had violated doping rules through no fault of her own, and her team-mate did not commit a violation.

If they had been barred, Azerbaijan would have replaced them in Beijing.

According to International Hockey Federation rules, if more than one member of a team tests positive, the whole team can be thrown out.

The Azerbaijan Hockey Federation has not commented on the Spanish allegations.
