Jolanda Čeplak Totally Explained

Everything about Jolanda Eplak totally explained

Jolanda Čeplak (born Jolanda Steblovnik, September 12, 1976) is a Slovenian middle distance athlete.
   She was born in Celje, Slovenia and lived in Velenje until recently when she moved to Monaco.
   In her early career, Jolanda didn't specialise, and ran at many distances, but has settled on the 800 metres where she's found relative success on the IAAF Golden League circuit, despite having to compete against Maria Mutola, who went unbeaten at all major championships from 1999 until the 2004 Summer Olympics.
   Her most successful season was 2002. On March 2 at the European Indoor Championships in Vienna she beat the local favourite Stephanie Graf and set the indoor world record at 1:55.82. Same year at the European Championships in Munich she clearly beat all rivals and became the European champion.
   At the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Jolanda finished very strongly in the 800 m but couldn't quite catch winner Kelly Holmes and finished with exactly the same time as Hasna Benhassi. The photo-finish didn't go Jolanda's way and Benhassi was given the silver medal and Jolanda bronze. One consolation though was that she'd finished one place ahead of the great Mutola.
   Her agent is a well known Austrian manager Robert Wagner. Jolanda is married to Aleš Čeplak.
   On 18 June 2007, Čeplak tested positive on erythropoietin. On 26 July, IAAF announced that the B test confirmed the result of the A test. She was suspended and if found guilty, she faces a two-year ban. Čeplak says in a comment that she's never taken any illegal substances and will try to prove her innocence with all means possible.
