Yuliya Zaripova
Despite her relative lack of experience, this was enough for a silver medal behind Marta Domínguez, and she beat her more favoured compatriot, Gulnara Samitova-Galkina, who was the reigning Olympic champion.She was initially awarded the gold medal in the steeplechase at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics, improving from her runner-up placing in 2009.[5] She was awarded the gold medal in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2012 Summer Olympics in a new personal best time of 9:06.72 but was later disqualified for doping charges.[6] On 30 January 2015, the IOC announced that Zaripova was sanctioned for an anti-doping rule violation based on abnormal parameters of the athletes' haematological profiles within the framework of the biological passport programme of the IAAF.[7] On 25 March 2015, the IAAF filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration in Lausanne, Switzerland, questioning the selective disqualification of the suspension periods of the six athletes involved including Zaripova.
