According to the BBC, Nadzeya Ostapchuk the 'Micky Skinner' lookalike (and definite would not) who won Gold in the women's shot put has failed a drugs test for steriods...
Have to say, as the person who first mentioned the Micky Skinner likeness, that this news is up there with bears doing their business in the woods and the pope being catholic!! ;-)
Essentially it's a competition between the dopers and the anti-doping authorities. As soon as they invent a new steroid they work out a way to test for it, a few athletes are caught but then a new steroid is invented. There are supposedly 100 different variants of EPO out there with no reliable test and a newish steroid called Aicar which assists in weight loss. Currently despite being several years in existence there is no test for Aicar. Soon there will be and one or two athletes will get caught and then they'll move on.
Be interesting to see who they send round to get the medal back!!
Presumably Valerie Adams who is getting bumped up will claim it on the way home to NZ, she more than passes the CL height test at 6ft 5 and wouldn't look out of place as a lock forward in an All Blacks scrum.

Be some good TV footage of her trying to snatch the medal back should the two of them ever meet up...anyway I'm guessing dear Nadzeya is long gone with her medal and is already back in Belarus, anyone care to pop over and get it back.............Errrr right I thought not? I wonder will the Belarus authorities comply with this finding.........have an idea we may not have heard the last of this. LOL!
the farcial thing is she will only get a 2 year ban and be back able to win the next olympics x the chinese woman who now gets bronze didnt look real. Those slim petite chinese women?

Why do they think they can get away with this?
Confirmed, that Micky Skinner has been disqualified
