María Luisa Calle
María Luisa Calle Williams (born October 3, 1968) is a Colombian professional racing cyclist. She was born in Medellín.[1]
In the 2004 Summer Olympics, she won a bronze medal in the cycling women's points race, the first Colombian to win a medal in cycling. She was stripped of the medal after a positive test result for the banned stimulant heptaminol. The medal was returned, however, after the test result was proven incorrect.[2]
On October 16, 2011, at the 2011 Pan American Games' individual time trial, Calle, 43 years old at the time, won the gold medal with a time of 28:04.82.[3]
On 22 July 2015, it was disclosed that she had tested positive for GHRP2 at the 2015 Pan American Games[4] and was subsequently banned for four years.[5]
