KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Jamaican 400-meter runner Bobby-Gaye Wilkins has been banned for two years for using a performance-enhancing substance.

Warren Blake of the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association says the runner will be barred from competition until April 2012.

Wilkins tested positive for the banned substance andranine in March at the indoor world championships in Doha, Qatar.

She was a member of the Jamaican 4×400 relay team that won a bronze medal at the tournament.
