Kirdyapkin was stripped of the gold medal of the Olympic Games in London in 2012 ,. Kaniskina – the silver medal of the London Olympics and gold 2010 European Championship, Bakulin and Zaripov – gold medals in Daegu 2011 World Cup, Borchin – two gold medals in the world championships in 2009 and 2011.

“Court of Arbitration for Sport. Lausanne has created a new legal precedent. The fact that the case for biological passport blood is extremely complicated. Athlete observed over the past two years, and during this period there is a control of the so-called peak, which should not exceed the permissible limits. So before the liability arises in the case of the specific peaks. Who created a new precedent, and now canceled all the results since the suspension. Rightly or not, but the court issued such a solution, and now it touches the athletes all over the world.

The question of cancellation of the results will be discussed. Return of prize usually happens on a voluntary basis. Today, I can only call an athlete, and ask her to bring them back. We also need to consider how to put this procedure in the legal field. I do not exclude that we introduce such rules, and they will be legislated. All need to think “- quoted Mutko Tass
