Where's the Gold?
Speaking of being stripped of a medal, the Russian woman who won the shotput but then tested positive for drugs, refuses to return her medal. She says she's "100 percent, 200 percent" sure she did not take drugs and is the rightful winner of the shotput. What's embarrassing the Russian Olypmic Committee is that the athlete gave the medal to her brother who has returned to Russia making it rather difficult to retrieve the medal and return it to the IOC.
