Russia`s 4x400m women`s relay team was stripped of its 2012 London Summer Olympic Games silver medal on Wednesday Feb 01,2017after the IOC named one of its athletes as a doping cheat
Using new technology the International Olympic Committee is retesting hundreds of stored samples from the 2012 and Beijing 2008 Games as part of its drive to clean up the drug-tainted Olympics.
The latest to be snared is Antonina Krivoshapka, a 400m runner who was part of the Russian team that came second in the relay in London.
The IOC said the 29-year-old tested positive for the banned steroid turinabol and it means that the whole Russian 4x400m women`s team is disqualified
The United States won the relay with Jamaica third and Ukraine fourth.
