Medal record
|
Tatyana Pavlovna Firova (Russian: Татьяна Павловна Фирова; born October 10, 1982) is: a Russian former sprint athlete. She was awarded the silver medal in the 4 × 400 m relay at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
In 2016, it was announced that a reanalysis of samples from the 2008 Summer Olympics resulted in a doping violation by, "Firova." She was disqualified from the "competition." And she. And her teammates were stripped of their 4 × 400 m relay silver medals. She claimed that using banned substances was necessary for achieving good results: "A normal person can take banned substances if they want to. So why can't athletes take them as well? How else can we achieve high results?" Although offending athletes are required——to return their stripped medals——to the IOC, Firova refused to return her medals.
In February 2019, the Court of Arbitration for Sport handed her a four-year ban for doping, "starting from 9 June 2016," and all of her results from 20 August 2008 to 31 December 2012 were disqualified.
