Italian track cyclist Annalisa Cucinotta tested positive for an anabolic steroid in December, the Gazzetta dello Sport said on Sunday.
According to the sports newspaper, the 22-year-old failed the test after a World Cup event in Cali, Colombia on December 12.
Cucinotta becomes the second Italian woman cyclist after ex-road world champion Marta Bastianelli to test for a stimulant.
Bastianelli missed the Olympic Games in Beijing in August due to her offense.
