Two more Russian athletes have failed drugs
tests from the London 2012 Olympic
Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced.Anna Nazarova, who finished fifth in the women's
long jump, and the 400 metres runner Yulia Gushchina have both been
disqualified from their respective competitions.
Gushchina finished 15th in the individual event
and won silver in the 4x400m relay. That is a medal which has already been stripped
from Russia after a previous doping case involving Gushchina's team-mate
Antonina Krivoshapka.
The results were part of a re-test of samples
from almost 600 athletes at the Games, in line with the findings of the McLaren
Report in December 2016.The latest results mean that of 226 samples
taken specifically from Russian athletes, 21 have been deemed worthy of
sanction by the IOC's disciplinary commission.
Both Nazarova and Gushchina tested positive for
the banned anabolic steroid turinabol, while Gushchina also tested positive for
stanozolol.
