MADRID, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Josephine Onyia of Spain has been banned for two years by her country's athletics federation (RFEA) after her second positive doping test, the IAAF confirmed on Tuesday.

It is a second two-year ban for the Nigerian-born 100m hurdler, who tested positive for a stimulant and then an anabolic agent in September 2008.

The RFEA cleared Onyia of any doping violation in 2008, but the sport's world governing body IAAF successfully filed two appeals through the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

"The IAAF has received the documents from RFEA for the provisional suspension of Onyia for two years on November 22," an IAAF spokesman said.
