In 2006 Stahurskaya was banned for two years for a drugs test that she failed in 2005 at a number of European races. One positive test for the anabolic steroid stanozolol at the GP Carnevale Europa and twice for the hormone testosterone at the Giro di San Marino and Sparkassen Giro Bochum.[2]

Stahurskaya had earlier been suspended for a positive test for a banned diuretic at the 2001 Giro d'Italia Femminile and a positive test for ephedrine at the 2003 Circuito di Massarosa. She was subsequently banned for four months and for two months respectively.[3]
