On August 16, 2008, during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing it was announced that she tested positive for the banned substancemethyltrienolone.[3][4] Chalkia denied she had taken any banned substance, and asked for her 'B' sample to be tested, which also tested positive the next day.[5] On November 26, 2008, the Greek Athletics Federation announced that she would serve a two year ban from the sport effective from August when Chalkia was expelled from the 2008 Summer Olympics.[6]
In 2015, a Greek court convicted Chalkia of intentional doping and handed her a seven month jail sentence, suspended pending an appeal; this appeal was successful as on February 19, 2016, Chalkia was unanimously acquitted by the Athens Court of Appeal of all charges for the intentional use of banned substances.[7] The court ruled that the former champion had fallen victim to a circuit of adulterated drugs, and also acquitted her trainer Giorgos Panagiotopoulos, who was facing charges of intentionally supplying banned substances.[8]
