Ce nu trebuia sa se intample s-a intamplat, biatlonista rusa, castigatoare a argintului la JO, in proba de 15 km, individual, femei a fost depistata pozitiv la testul antidoping. Tofalvi a urcat pe locul 19, iar AKhatova este noua medaliata cu bronz, Glagow intrand in posesia argintului. Iata ce scrie Eurosport:
Russia's Olga Pyleva has been stripped of the Individual silver medal after testing positive for a banned substance. There will be a hearing on Thursday in front of the IOC disciplinary commission to determine what further action should be taken.
New IOC vice President Thomas Bach (GER) was quoted on the German agency DPA: "A stimulant substance was found in an unusually high concentration."
Martina Glagow from Germany is now promoted to the silver medal with Pyleva's team-mate Albina Akhatova awarded with a bronze.
Pyleva was pulled out of the sprint event moments before the start with no explanation offered by the Russian team.
"No comment, you will know tomorrow," a Russian spokesman told reporters.
However, team officials later confirmed that Pyleva had been suspended pending a disciplinary investigation into doping by the International Olympic Committee at the Winter Games.
"We can confirm that Pyleva is being investigated by the International Olympic Committee," a spokesman for the Russian team said. "They have found something in sample A, but sample B has yet to be done."
