thats a nice touch ... theres a movement to "officially" present Armstrong his BRONZE medal at Jack poole plaza ... crank up the gas!

The US team officially loses a silver medal from 2012.

I'd be awfully pissed if I was one of those teammates that lost my medal because of one jerk.

I'm still pissed that Carl Lewis hasn't been stripped of his gold medal in the 100m dash at the '88 Seoul Games for running out of his lane...

From BRONZE! to GOLD! (maybe)

Canada could be adding a second gold medal to its tally from the 2012 London Olympics as weightlifter Christine Girard appears one step closer to being promoted from third place to the top of the podium.

The International Olympic Committee has stripped Russia's Svetlana Tzarukaeva of the silver medal she won in London after retesting of her samples showed evidence of the prohibited substance dehydrochlormethyltestosterone.

Girard was the bronze medallist in the 63-kilogram class in 2012 but with gold medallist Maiya Maneza already stripped of her result for a positive retest last fall, the Canadian should eventually be bumped to first place.

Bolt eviscerated carl lewis in post race press conference ... That was enjoyable

/lord help him if he ever tests positive

//cant wait for the new espn 30 for 30 titled "9.79" on the 1988 100 metre final

Wonder how they will paint lewis considering every runner in that gold medal race ended up being on roids

Some Olympic athletes with flagged drug tests got benefit of the doubt; Canada's Ben Johnson did not.

this was basically the theme of the 30 for 30 from a couple years back. iirc the final fade to black on the docu was (TLDR) " Ben Johnson: banned " and then, one by one, listed all the other competitors in that race who went on to test positive
