CAS confirms 2 Russians to be stripped of 2008 medals
Print Edition
Russian athletes Tatyana Lebedeva and Maria Abakumova lost their appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport yesterday and were stripped of three silver medals for doping at the 2008 Olympic Games.
CAS confirmed the IOC decisions in 2016 to disqualify the pair plus compatriot Ekaterina Gnidenko. The banned anabolic steroid turinabol was discovered in retests of all three women’s Olympic anti-doping samples. Lebedeva won 2008 Beijing Olympic silver medals in the long jump and triple jump. Abakumova won the silver in javelin at the 2008 Games. Gnidenko was eighth in Keirin track cycling at the 2012 London Olympics. At their appeal hearings in May in Lausanne, all three failed to prove the anti-doping test methods were not scientifically valid, CAS said in a statement.
