Nigeria Wins Olympic Silver Medal by yashau(m): 9:26am On Aug 18, 2016 |
Nigeria has grabbed an Olympic silver medal
courtesy the International Olympic Committee.
But don’t be mistaken, the medal is from the
Beijing 2008 Olympics.
The IOC announced yesterday that Russia was
stripped of a relay gold medal from the 2008
Beijing Olympics on Tuesday, after one of its
female runners tested positive for steroids in a
reanalysis of her doping samples.
Sprinter Yulia Chermoshanskaya tested positive
for two drugs — stanozolol and turinabol — and
has been retroactively disqualified and, along
with her team-mates, stripped of the gold medal
in the women’s 4x100-meter relay, the
International Olympic Committee said.
Belgium stands to be upgraded to the relay gold,
with Nigeria moving up to silver and Brazil to
bronze.
The IOC asked the IAAF to modify the results
and consider any further sanctions against
Chermosh-anskaya, who is no longer competing.
The three other Russians runners in the relay
final were Yulia Gushchina, Alexandra Fedoriva
and Evgeniya Polyakova. Under IAAF rules, an
entire relay team loses its medals if one of the
runners tests positive. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/08/nigeria-wins-olympic-silver-medal/ 1 Like |
