Road World champion Marta Bastianelli will appear before the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) on August 5 after testing non-negative for a banned substance according to CONI's website.
Bastianelli has said she took the product to lose some weight. She said she did not believe it was a banned substance, but rather an herbal product.
"I am sorry," Bastianelli had told Reuters. "I hope the investigation brings out the truth. I want to show everyone this is not technical doping."
