- 49-year-old stripped of 1500m silver from London 2012
- Race called ‘dirtiest in history’ after six runners banned
Russia’s Tatyana Tomashova has been banned from athletics for 10 years and stripped of the silver medal she won in the women’s 1500m at the 2012 Olympic Games.
Tomashova was punished after testing positive in 2021 for anabolic steroids in retests of her out-of-competition samples from 21 June 2012 and 17 July 2012, the court of arbitration for sport said.
