RUSSIAN thrower Tatyana Beloborodova has been stripped of her 2012 Olympic hammer gold medal after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) found her to have failed a drugs test following re-analysis of a doping sample.
Beloborodova – competing at the time as Tatyana Lysenko – was previously reported to be among a group of athletes who had tested positive during a round of retesting done by the IOC, and the governing body has now confirmed she will be disqualified.
