IWF Releases 2008 Olympics Retest Results, Ilya Again Positive
Following up last week's news regarding the 2012 Olympic doping retests, the IWF has released the results from the retests of the 2008 Olympics. Here are the athletes with Adverse Analytical Findings (aka the athletes who tested positive for PEDs):

  • ​Hripsime Khurshudyan (ARM)
  • Alexandru Dudoglo (MDA)
  • Nadezda Evstyukhina (RUS)
  • Nurcan Taylan (TUR)
  • Marina Shainova (RUS), Silver Medalist 2008 Olympics W58
  • Intigam Zairov (AZE)
  • Ilya Ilyin (KAZ), Gold Medalist 2008 Olympics M94
Ilyin's name was also on the list of positive tests from 2012 which will likely result in not only a loss of medals from every international event he's competed in since 2008 and removal of his world records but also a lifetime ban from sanctioned weightlifting.
