champions

Andreea Madalina Raducan was born on the thirtieth of
September, 1983, in Birlad, Romania. She was trained under
Octavien Belu and Mariana Bitang of the Cetate Deva Club in
Romania and began gymnastics at the age of five. She has
several gold and silver medals under her belt from national
and international competitions. Though she is listed as
the official Olympic all-around female champion, the IOC
stripped her of her medal when she tested positive for
pseudophedrine (the active ingredient in many
decongestants) after having taken a cold pill given to her
by the Romanian Olympic Team doctor. Regardless of whether
or not she has the medal, she is a champion - and an
incredible one at that.
