Catherine set to splash back<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Disgraced junior swimmer Catherine Surya is set
\nto splash back into the sport at the national Southeast Asian
\nGames selection trials here this weekend, after receiving a drug-
\nfree certificate from an Australian laboratory.<\/p>\n
The trials will be Catherine's first appearance in a national
\ncompetition after being banned from competition for 18 months
\nafter testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs last year.
\nShe has spent the past several months training in Australia.<\/p>\n
"Catherine has improved in 200-meter butterfly during her
\nAustralian stint. She is still the best in that discipline," the
\nswimmer's coach and father, Sumanas, said.<\/p>\n
At the age of 13 the West Javanese swimmer became the world's
\nyoungest athlete ever to serve a ban for drug use. She was
\nstripped of the bountiful gold medals and national records gained
\nin the 1993 National Games. (amd)<\/p>",
