Tatjana Tomashova will lose her Olympic silver from the London 2012 Games.
A Russian runner who has already finished his career Tatyana Tomashova loses his London 2012 Olympic silver medal due to doping. The International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced the matter on Tuesday.
At the London Olympics, Tomashova finished fourth in the women’s 1,500 meters. He was subsequently promoted to second because the Turks finished first and second Asli Cakir Alptekin and Gamze Bulut were later caught for doping.
Tomashova received her punishment after her two doping samples from the London Olympic year were reanalyzed at the end of 2021. Indications of the use of anabolic steroids were found in the samples.
Tomashova was also banned from competition for ten years. In 2008, he received a two-year ban from competition due to manipulation of a doping test sample. Tomashova is a two-time world champion, European Championship winner and silver medalist at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
