At the 2001 Goodwill Games in Brisbane, Australia, Alina Kabaeva won the gold medal for the ball, clubs, and rope competitions, and the silver one in the individual all-Around, and hoop. However, Kabaeva and her teammate, Irina Tchachina, tested positive to a banned diuretic (furosemide), and were stripped of their medals, so Anna Bessonova won a gold medal in clubs competition and four silver medals in the individual all-around, hope, rope and ball competitions.[4]
