Olga Puleva will lose the medal
Olga Pyleva, biathlonist from Krasnoyarsk, is convicted of the use of grown drugs. Both of her doping tests gave a positive result. Pyleva will now lose "silver", won in a 15 km race. She also faces a two -year disqualification. The Little Medal will be crossed by the third place by the German Martin of the Tlags, and the finished fourth Russian Albina Akhatov will become a bronze medalist.
Doping tests taken from Pylevaya gave a positive result for the corfedon, which was included in the “black list” by the World Anti-Doping Agency relatively recently. The analogue of the Corfedon - phenotropil was prescribed by the athlete by the doctor, so that she would recover faster after the foot injury. At least, representatives of the Russian delegation in an interview with the media give such an explanation. The official statement of the International Olympic Committee is as follows: "The Russian biathlete Olga Pulev is removed from all competitions under the auspices of the IOC, a further commission will be engaged in her fate." This is the first proven case of using doping during the XX Winter Games, the members of the IOC commission emphasize.
“I do not take off my guilt, as I allowed the athlete to treat an outsider,” said Alexander Tikhonov, a positive doping test of the dust biathlonist Union of Biathlonists. “Before the start of the games, Olga was severely injured - she had damaged the periosteum,” Tikhonov said. “She turned to a doctor who did not work with the team, and he treated it, using, as it turned out now, the forbidden drug. The fault of our union and me personally in the fact that this moment was not tracked.” According to Tikhonov, the case of dust cannot be considered a conscious use of doping.
