    Former European champion swimmer Ksenia Moskvina has been banned for six years for a repeat doping offense, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) said Thursday.

    The Russian, 23, is already serving a one-year ban for her first doping offense and the new punishment will start on November 25, when her first sanction expires.

    “Ksenia Moskvina is disqualified for a period of six years, starting from November 25, 2013, for a repeat breach of anti-doping rules,” RUSADA said in a website statement.
