Olympic medals stripped from Russia due to doping 
A look at some of the Olympics medals stripped from Russia in years past, as the country now grapples with a ban from the Olympics and world championships in a range of sports for four years after the World Anti-Doping Agency ruled to punish it for manipulating laboratory data.

Cross country skier Olga Danilova tested positive for darbepoetin, which boosts production of oxygen-carrying red blood cells, during the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City but did not lose her medals at the time since she tested positive later in the Games. Danilova later lost her gold from the women's pursuit and her silver from the 10-kilometer classic following a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling in December 2003. REUTERS

Russia was ordered on August 12, 2016 to return its gold medals from the 2008 Beijing Olympics 4x100m women’s relay after Yulia Chermoshanskaya tested positive for a banned substance in a re-analysis of her sample. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) disqualified her for testing positive for steroid use. Chermoshanskaya, who finished eighth in the individual 200m in Beijing, tested positive for several anabolic steroids, including stanozolol, an anabolic steroid favored by athletes and bodybuilders attempting to lose fat while retaining lean body mass. The IOC stores samples for a decade to test with newer methods or for new substances. The ruling body conducted targeted retests before the Rio Olympics. REUTERS/Kai Pfaffenbach

Yuliya Zaripova has been stripped of the gold medal she won in the women’s 3,000 meters steeplechase at the 2012 London Olympics, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on November 21, 2016. Zaripova, who tested positive for turinabol, was among 12 athletes, including seven medalists, who were disqualified from their events following re-testing of samples, the IOC said.

Zaripova had been widely expected to lose the medal after she was banned for two-and-a-half years by Russian anti-doping agency RUSADA in January 2015 after her biological passport showed abnormalities. REUTERS/Phil Noble

The retroactive four-year penalty started Aug. 24, 2015, but CAS also disqualified all Savinova’s results from July 26, 2010, to Aug. 19, 2013, thereby stripping her of her 2011 world championships gold, 2013 world silver and 2010 European gold.
