BEIJING, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- The International Olympic Committee stripped Ukrainian heptathlete Lyudmila Blonska of her silver medal Friday because of a positive drug test.
Blonska won the silver behind Natalia Dobrynska of Ukraine last weekend, but both test samples showed the presence of methyltestosterone. She has already served a two-year doping ban.
The silver medal will now go to American Hyleas Fountain. Tatiana Chernova of Russia will receive the bronze.
During a hearing before the IOC disciplinary commission, Blonska said she didn't know how the substance got in her body. She is coached by her husband, who has been asked to attend a Aug. 29 hearing with Ukrainian track and field officials to discuss the incident.
