The2ndMouse Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/ar...ntre&artid=7113 Sport is all about fair play. But for some athletes it is more about winning at all costs, even if it means using prohibited substances to improve their sporting performance. For many of these athletes, anabolic steroids, a class of steroid hormones related to the hormone testosterone, are the drug of choice. However, tests for testosterone doping may sometimes be inaccurate on account of genetic variations, a new study headed by the Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden has revealed.

Dutch Eagle Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Pigi Devetzi might have used doping at the Olympics in Beijing 2008. She won the bronze medal on the triple jump.

Antaeus7 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Why is this being mentioned right now? Why not take care of this issue like 5 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I have recalled in 2009 she refused to take a doping test and decided to retire afterwards when IOC handed her a 2 year ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WADA has the right to check old samples up to 10 years. Now we can see things we couldn't in 2008. Therefore they are checking all the samples to look for (possible) frauds.

Antaeus7 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 It is official that both of her bronze medals from World Championship 2007 in Osaka and 2008 Summer Olympic Game in Beijing have been stripped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Chalkia and Tsoumeleka we're also caught for doping during the Beijing games as well. Such a shame when both of them won gold in Athens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yes. It is a shame. And a slap in the face. But we get used to it. One can only hope that one day there will be a doping-free world. I just feel sad for the man or woman without doping in second place or just outside the medals hearing the national anthem of the fraud and missing all the bonusses the frauds "earned". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 IOC revealed new frauds of the Beijing and London games. 2008 Weightlifters Soslan Tigiev, Olha Korobka, Andrei Ribakou (all silver) and Nastassia Novikava (bronze) were busted. Also wrestler Taimoeraz Tigijev from Kazachstan (silver) and Belarus Ekaterina Volkova (bronze at 3000 meter steeple chase) lost their medals. Spanish Josephine Nnkiruka Onyia (hurdles), Cuban longjumper Wilfredo Martinez and weightlifter Sardar Hasanov from Azerbeidzjan (all without a medal though) were busted after retesting the samples from 2008. 2012 Kazach weightlifters Zulfiya Chinshanlo (- 53 kilo), Maiya Maneza (- 63 kilo) en Svetlana Podobedova (- 75 kilo) were skipped as winners of gold. Kirill Ikonnikov (hammer), Dzina Sazanavets (weightlifting), Marina Shkermankova (weightlifting), Dmitry Starodubtsev (pole vault) en Yauheni Zharnasek (weightlifting) saw their results wiped out of the list. How many to be unmasked???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Also, don't forget to mention Tatyana Lysenko from women's hammer throw from the London game. 2-time World Record breaker Anita Wlodarczyk was awarded gold and is officially a 2-time Olympic Champion. Mind you this is not the first time she violated doping policy. Edited October 27, 2016 by Molon Lave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Eagle Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 IOC took the golden medal of team Jamaica for the 4x100 m. relay and two silver medals of Russia's Tatiana Lebedeva on longjump and triple jump of Beijing 2008. Usain Bolt loses his (co-)record nine golden Olympic medals because Nesta Carter used methylhexanamine. Once again frauds were busted after retesting of old samples.
