Nigeria Gets Silver Olympic Medal

By Mojisola Delano On Aug 18, 2016

Nigeria has gotten an Olympic silver medal courtesy the International Olympic Committee. The medal is from the Beijing 2008 Olympics.

The IOC announced yesterday that Russia was stripped of a relay gold medal from the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Tuesday, after one of its female runners tested positive for steroids in a reanalysis of her doping samples. Sprinter Yulia Chermoshanskaya tested positive for two drugs — stanozolol and turinabol — and has been retroactively disqualified and, along with her team-mates, stripped of the gold medal in the women’s 4×100-meter relay, the International Olympic Committee said.

Belgium stands to be upgraded to the relay gold, with Nigeria moving up to silver and Brazil to bronze.

Under IAAF rules, an entire relay team loses its medals if one of the runners tests positive.
