Lausanne, Oct 11, 2016 – The International Olympic Committee (IOC) today sanctioned Tatyana Lysenko(33), a Russian athlete for taking performance enhancing substance at the Olympic Games London 2012.
The IOC Disciplinary Commission, composed of Denis Oswald (Chairman), Juan Antonio Samaranch and Ugur Erdener found Tatyana LYSENKO who won gold in the women’s hammer throw event to have committed an anti-doping rule violation pursuant IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London in 2012 and consequently disqualified her.
“Re-analysis of Lysenko’s samples from London 2012 resulted in a positive test for the prohibited substance dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol)”, the IOC said.
The IAAF is requested to modify the results of the above-mentioned event accordingly and to consider any further action within its own competence.
“The Russian Olympic Committee shall ensure full implementation of this decision. The Russian Olympic Committee shall in particular secure the return to the IOC, as soon as possible, of the medal, the medallist pin and the diploma awarded in connection with the women’s hammer throw event to the Athlete”, the IOC said.
