2012 Olympic silver medalist Tatyana Tomashova banned 10 years, disqualified for retest positive to anabolic steroids, Shannon Rowbury moves up to 3rd place.
Russian athlete Tatyana Tomashova has been banned for ten years and stripped of her 2012 Olympic silver medal in the women's 1500m after testing positive for anabolic steroids in reanalyzed samples. This disqualification elevates U.S. runner Shannon Rowbury from fifth to third place. Tomashova's case adds to the doping scandal of a race where six of the top nine finishers faced penalties. The International Olympic Committee must approve the medal reallocation.
