Times Athletes Were Stripped Of Their Olympic Medals
Making it to the Olympics takes a lifetime of hard work and dedication. For those athletes who are good enough to get there, it’s only the beginning — the end …

Do you think any of these athletes deserved to get their medals taken away?
And now we have transgender athletes doping with testosterone we also have biological males saying they’re women just to compete with the women ruining women’s sport and that’s all just fine with the IOC
Now that men are women and whining about all that entails..I'm out. Not my cup of tea anymore. It's gross.
Why didn't you mention Carl Lewis who tested positive before Johnson.
Andrea deserves her medal
Crazy
Some of this is just stupidity. I used to row, and it was drummed into you from the bottom end of national level (Novice level) that even caffeine is banned, and that cold medicines contain banned substances. So how the hell did an Olympic athlete not know this?
Billy Mills??
They need to prove the individual athlete was doping. Not one person on the team. Not right. The girl with the cold med, it's just plain wrong. If I did not dope, I would not give back the medal. They allow men to compete as woman, but strip people of medals because a member of the team had juiced. Double standard.
Considering all the blatant performance enhancing drug abuse of the past, athletes must declare and take responsibility for, any pills & potions, that they take.
Ignorance, is no defence.
By the next Olympic Games, the OTC that Raducan had taken was no longer on the list of banned PEC.
Gee whiz a cold medicine is no cause to take a medal.
Can you make a better winners commercial
Don't know if counts as being stripped from the medal, because it wasn't brought and granted yet, but I think we can include the Mexican race walker Bernardo Segura, who in Sydney 2000 ended 1st, but suddenly, 11 minutes after he had already crossed the finish line, in front of the cameras and journalist interviewing him about his victory, and while being personally congratulated by the mexican president himself, appeared one of the competition's judges raising the red circled card and ultimately declarating he was disqualified due to performed the three permitted penalties. The moment turned pretty shocking and dramatic. And although he claimed this was a lie, and even taking the case to legal instances, the decision remained unchanged. To this day, Segura still claims he was the winner that day.
Running races are for school children.
A communist country cheating in the Olympics? Never. How dare you accuse them of doing what all the other communists have done in the past.
Nobody is questioning these athletes stories? The athlete says, "2 weeks before the Olympics I was abducted by aliens and they must have given me the illegal substance!" Everyone here says, "See, it wasn't his/her fault. Ban the aliens!" Don't take every word as gospel. These athletes will do ANYTHING to win.
I never regretted trusting the service of ☝️ as they came through exactly on time I’m clearing my house rent and other debts
I am against testing. Let them all use whatever they want and let's see what a human, and/or horse, can do. If they CHOOSE to use these things and it's detrimental, that's on them. Although…I am kinda for banning of PDA's on horses, they have no choice in the matter.
The IOC is purely a political shakedown organization that is filled with inflexible beaurucrats only interested in maximizing revenues to themselves.
Man the IOC are some tyrants…crazy because it seems like russia got a slap on the wrist, and they all still competed just not for "russia". IOC must be scared of Putin..lol.
The IOC need to publish a comprehensive list of all band drugs, and products that contain band drugs, seem the rules on band substances need to be review by doctors, as well as what constitutes a professional, what they did to Jim Thorp was just wrong, plain and simple, in my opinion!!
There is a problem with the IOC placing hundreds of drugs on the banned list, even though they are not performance enhancing. To say that taking an antihistamine when you have a cold is doping is ridiculous. Competitors have to list every pill they take, months before competition to avoid being disqualified for doping. Someone needs to stop this insanity. A panel of doctors needs to review every drug on this list. If it does not enhance performance, then it needs to be removed from the list.
olympic dope
What about Marion Jones? And her husband?
1976 Montreal Olympics, infamous German Doping case, coach was asked why his female swimmer got Big voice, his replied was they came here to swim, not to sing !
Do they not test the competitors before their events ? I'm not really into the Olympics, but wouldn't it make sense to test them before they are able to compete?
That's absolutely totally and sickening what they've done to Jim thorpe
Justice for Andreea Raducan! Poor girl. She's still the 2000 AA Champion in my eyes. They better give her that medal one day.
Andreea Raducan deserves that medal. Fellow gymnasts and coaches have backed her. Her teammate, the AA silver medalist Simona Amanar also tested positive for the substance, but because she weighed a tiny bit more, her body metabolized it more and the amount in her system was just enough to fall under the parameters considered "acceptable".
Notice the scandals and discrepancies are from Sydney 2000. The women's gymnastics competition as a whole were a TRAINWRECK- horrendously organized and embarrassingly poorly run.
GIVE RADUCAN HER WELL EARNED GOLD.
look, if i knew i didnt cheat. i wouldnt care if they took my medal back. i only worried about what people think in my group. u aint in my group. u dont matter.
I personally think it would be interesting to let these athletes do their steroids to improve their game performance, anybody can do the same thing stuff they do, or did. It's not like it's still not that athlete winning these records or performing that well. Just improving there game by making there body's preform better. Like in baseball, it's fun to watch a player get 70 hrs in a season or a pitcher throwing 100+ mph consistently, But it's the players who choose not to use these things to improve themselves that complain because of the unfairness for something they choose not to do. it's not like there weren't people cheating when the records first got set, they just didn't get caught or have the tech to test them at the time. Now cheating, by like shaving weights of the objects they use, or using certine technology to boost scores shouldn't be aloud.
Narration sounds horrible!
What happened to Andreea was so unfair. They even told her right before the floor final that she was under investigation, thus affecting her performance. How awful. The Sydney games were a total disgrace for gymnastics for others reasons too.
Some runners in relays have had to hand back their medals because one athlete, who might not have run in the final but was part of the team failed a test.
I think they …SHOULD…. allow the use of steroids & anything else that helps an athlete to run faster, jump higher……perform to the maximum, etc. That's the whole point. To push the limits. How much more entertaining it would be, if we could see the gigantic Popeye arms & legs. They could simply award the medals in 2 separate divisions, if they want to insist on 'regular' humans……or 'supercharged'.
What about Marion Jones?
