While still banned in February 2015, she failed an out-of-competition test for another banned substance, the fertility drug clomiphene, but due to substantial assistance provided to [[UK Anti-Doping]] (UKAD) and a prompt admission of guilt, her second suspension was reduced from 40 months to 10 months.
