Taking back the 2012 Olympic silver from the Russian runner

According to the Tasnim news agency, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced that the results of Russian sprinter Tatyana Tomasova between June 2012 and January 2015 were invalidated for violating anti-doping rules.

CAS has banned Tomashova for 10 years as a doping penalty, which took effect yesterday. In addition, all the results recorded by the Russian athlete in competitions from June 21, 2012 to January 3, 2015, including the silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics, were invalidated.

This is not Tomashova's first suspension, as she was suspended in 2008 on suspicion of tampering with doping samples. Tomashova is a 2004 Olympic silver medalist in the 1,500 meters, as well as a two-time world champion (2003 and 2005) in this discipline.
