MONACO (AP) Six Russian and Ukrainian track athletes have been handed doping bans after retests found they had doped at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.
The IAAF says Russian sprinter Yulia Chermoshanskaya, who won 4×100-meter relay gold in 2008, was banned for two years. Two Ukrainians, javelin silver medalist Oleksandr Pyatnytsya and pole vault bronze medalist Denys Yurchenko, were also banned for two years.
They had already been stripped of their Olympic medals last year by the International Olympic Committee.
There were also two-year bans for Ukrainian athletes Vita Palamar, Marharyta Tverdohlib and Maksym Mazuryk, who were not medalists.
