SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Lim Eun-ji, South Korea’s record-holder in the women’s pole vault, has been suspended for three months after testing positive for a prohibited substance, says the country’s doping watchdog.

Lim tested positive for the diuretics hydrochlorothiazide and chlorothiazide during a local athletics meet in May, the Korea Anti-Doping Agency said in a statement. She must forfeit the gold medal she won at the competitions, it said.
