RIO DREAM OVER
In October 2016 she was cleared of all wrongdoing by the World Anti Doping Agency [WADA] after a positive test she gave at the 2016 Pan American Championships in Panama City, Panama, resulted in her withdrawal from the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Although initial analysis of the samples had come back positive, the International Fencing Federation [FIE] asked for further tests to be carried out at a lab in Cologne, Germany, with the results negative this time. "I will pick myself up and will fight to recover all that I lost." (wada-ama.org, 24 Nov 2016; espn.com.mx, 04 Nov 2016; excelsior.com.mx, 14 Oct 2016; Twitter profile, 13 Oct 2016)
