After attending a hearing on Saturday night, the 20-year-old athlete was suspended pending the testing of her backup "B sample Sunday afternoon. Galiulina had been due to compete in women's qualifying on Sunday.

On Saturday, the IOC expelled Albanian weightlifter Hysen Pulaku from the games after he tested positive for the banned steroid stanozolol on July 23.
