1-4 was rather hard to find out, I got it wrong (I thought she was banned because of article 2.9, but article 2.9 didn't exist back then), Alba summed it up nicely for me:
Alex Schwazer was her fiancé, he is a racewalker, an Olympic champion and a convicted doper. He was in Oberstdorf with her, but he should have been in Italy, he violated the whereabouts rule. Carolina didn't know that but when the anti doping investigators called at her flat he told her that he wasn't supposed to be there and asked her to say that he wasn't there and she did that. Afterwards he travelled to Italy immediatly and was tested positive. This happend shortly before the Olympic Games in 2012.
Sounds like she violated the whereabouts rule, not the anti-doping rule. She did not help him dope/pass a test (she made him take the test and he failed) she helped him cheat the rules about where he was. That is what she should have been charged with if anything. I have no idea what that would fall under, but that seems more inline with what she did.
