Rebeca Braga Lakiss Gusmão (born August 24, 1984 in Brasília, Distrito Federal) is a freestyle swimmer from Brazil, who won the bronze medal in the women's 4x100m freestyle relay at the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She also participated at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.
Gusmão was the gold medalist in the Women's 50m and 100m freestyle at the XV Pan American Games. Her medals were later revoked due to doping.
[edit] Doping with testosterone
On November 5th, 2007, Rebeca Gusmão was suspended by FINA due to doping with testosterone in a competition held on July 13th 2007. Suspicion of illegal use of testosterone has increased due to her awesome muscular mass gain along with a supposedly masculine appearance.
On December 13th, 2007, PASO declared Rebeca Gusmão guilty of doping with testosterone and revoked her XV Pan American Games medals.
