Tomashova gets 10-year ban

Russia's Tatyana Tomashova has been given a 10-year ban after she was found to have violated anti-doping regulations at the 2012 Olympics, as the fallout from that Games' shocking women's 1,500m final continues.

Tomashova has also been stripped of her silver medal from that race, a medal she was given after initially finishing fourth after the first two finishers were later banned.

The 49-year-old Tomashova, a world champion in 2003 and 2005, was one of seven Russian female athletes to receive a two-year doping ban for manipulating their drug samples in 2008.
