Medals awarded years later after doping cases

Incerti, third at the finish line, won gold medal after the disqualification of first two athletes two years later. Živilė Balčiūnaitė of Lithuania originally won the marathon and was awarded the gold medal, but was disqualified for doping after she tested positive for testosterone.[1][2] Nailiya Yulamanova of Russia originally came second, and was set to be upgraded to gold winner after Živilė Balčiūnaitė was disqualified. However, in July 2012, Yulamanova was also disqualified for doping, as her results from 20 August 2009 onwards were annulled due to abnormalities in her biological passport profile.[3] Anna Incerti (gold), Tetyana Filonyuk (silver) and Isabellah Andersson (bronze) received the medals by mail.

gollark: H.265 has licensing stuff surrounding it.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: They can automatically convert formats if an upload form asks for it? I was not aware of this.
gollark: H.265 HEIFs apparently are 50% smaller at equivalent quality, which is good.
gollark: It is, but apparently you can use it on still images.
