Eight years later, more athletes continue to be stripped of medals from the Beijing Olympics because of positive doping tests. They were among the 98 positive cases recorded in the retesting of more than 1,000 samples from Beijing and the 2012 London Olympics. Russia had already been stripped of the relay medal earlier this month when another runner, Anastasia Kapachinskaya, tested positive. Also Wednesday, Russian weightlifter Marina Shainova was stripped of her silver medal in the 58-kilogram class. The IOC said she tested positive for stanozolol and turinabol.
