Fox334 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Overall women's World Cup leader, Yekaterina Iourieva, tested positive for doping (substance not yet disclosed). She is also a former world champions. Two other Russian Biathletes have tested positive: Albina Akhatova, ranked six in the women's World Cup Overall and is a three time world champion, and Dmitri Yaroshenko, twenty-third in the Men's World Cup and he is a world champion whit the Russian relay team. The (assumed) suspension of Yekaterina Iourieva and Albina Akhatova are both huge blows to Russia's medal hopes in women's Biathlon, and its far from the first time a Russian Biathlete got caught doping (for example, Olga Pyleva got striped of a silver medal in Turino). I wouldn't be surprised if they are more Russian Biathletes doping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 This would benefit Norway and Germany most. And its not a surprise, since 2002 the Russians have been caught more than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
