Tunisian Habiba Ghribi Upgraded to Olympic Gold After Opponent Tested Positive Saturday June 04,2016



Tunisian long-distance runner Habiba Ghribi was officially presented on Saturday June 04,2016 with Olympic 2012 and World 2011 3,000-metre steeplechase gold medals stripped from Russian Yuliya Zaripova for doping.

The presentation came several weeks after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled in favour of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which had challenged what it considered to be lenient sanctions handed out by the Russian Anti-doping agency (Rusada)

The presentation to Ghribi took place in Rades, near Tunis, during the under-23 Mediterranean Games with International Olympic Committee vice-president Nawal el Moutawakel in attendance.
