loses the gold?
Life ban , previouse doper
Because it has not been announced whether this positive test came before or after the Olympics, there remains the possibility that she gets to hold onto the medal...
Wonder if they'll get the silver medalist from Turkey, too.
Remind me...who was fourth?

Tomashova. Another drug cheat.
5th place was for Rowbury.
It should be one strike and a lifetime ban. Ridiculous.
Wow, nobody could have seen that one coming.

wouldn't be at all surprised to see the top 4 test positive
Top four? I can guarantee that entire field was on drugs.
7th, 8th and 9th are suspicious to me.
I am surprised it's a real Turkish this time and not a naturalized Ethiopian.
uceny has to be just kicking herself. again.
For all the hype Mackhloufi's run received, there was no London race more depressingly emblematic of the prevalence of drugs in track and field than that women's 1500.
Agreed. It was a bummer to watch.

womens 1500m seems to be horrendous for doping
i looked at the helsinki 05 wc result there lately
1,2,3,4 all later busted for peds

Everyone is suspicious except the white girls from the USA and Great Britain.
After all, this is letsrun.com
so what are the rules on her and the og? say she tested positive someplace other than the olympics, after the games ended - does she still lose the medal?
woh
just got me thinking there
don't want to cast aspersions
but if 1,2,3,4 from helsinki 2005 were all dopers
