LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Russian hammer thrower Tatyana Lysenko was stripped of her gold medal from the 2012 London Olympics on Tuesday, the latest athlete sanctioned after being caught in the retesting of stored doping samples.Lysenko tested positive for the steroid turinabol and has been retroactively disqualified from the games, the International Olympic Committee said.The Russian Olympic Committee was ordered to secure the return of her gold medal as soon as possible.The gold now stands to go to second-place finisher Anita Wlodarczyk of Poland. It would be the second Olympic gold for Wlodarczyk, who won the hammer throw at the Rio de Janeiro Games in August.The IOC asked track and fields governing body, the IAAF, to modify the 2012 results and consider any further action against Lysenko, who retired last year. She could still face a lifetime ban for a second offense, as she was banned from 2007-09 for another doping violation.The IOC stores doping samples for 10 years to allow them to be retested when new methods become available.The IOC recorded a total of 98 positive cases in retests of samples from the London Olympics and 2008 Beijing Games. The new tests are capable of detecting traces of steroids going back weeks and months, rather than days.Lysenko, the world champion in 2011 and 2013, won the Olympic gold with a throw of 78.18 meters, followed by Wlodarczyk with 77.60. Germanys Betty Heidler could now move up from bronze to silver, with Chinas Zhang Wenxiu going from fourth place to bronze.In a seven-page decision , a three-man IOC disciplinary commission said Lysenko originally contested the positive test on grounds that a suspension she had served in the past was already unjustified.Lysenko told the IOC she was caring for a young child and had no time to defend herself. She did not attend the opening and testing of her backup B sample.Lysenko later wrote to the IOC that she had always been training conscientiously and did not understand why the reanalysis had shown positive results. She did not attend a disciplinary hearing in July.The IOC said Lysenko did not bring forward any relevant arguments or evidence to rebut the positive test and made no attempt to explain the source of turinabol, which the panel said is directly used as a performance-enhancing substance.Eric Bledsoe Bucks Jersey . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf.

He also will plead guilty to state sex trafficking and rape charges involving the same victims, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael McMahon said.Former restaurant worker Erik Nunez pleaded guilty this week to the same federal conspiracy charge, seeking a sentence of 10 years or less, and will plead guilty to state charges of sexual battery in an agreement worked out with the New Orleans District Attorney, court documents show.All their sentences would run concurrently under the deals presented to U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo. Shes expected to rule Oct. 13 after a pre-sentence investigation.Sharper might have spent as little as nine years in prison under his multi-jurisdiction plea deal, but Milazzzo rejected that sentence as too lenient.dddddddddddd He now faces a possible 15-to-20 years. It remains unclear how much his agreement to testify against his co-defendants will affect his sentencing on Aug. 18.The public image of Sharper, a popular member of the only Saints team to win a Super Bowl, has been shattered by allegations that he drugged and raped as many as 16 women in Arizona, California, Nevada and Louisiana.He had been selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times during a career that included stints with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. He played in the Super Bowl with the Packers as a rookie and again with the Saints in 2010.His 14-year career ended the next year and he was working as an NFL network analyst when women began telling police in several cities similar stories, of blacking out while drinking with him and waking up groggy to find they had been sexually abused.
