In May 2016, it was reported that a retest of samples from the 2008 Games had found
31 positive findings for performance-enhancing drugs. According to Russian news agency
TASS, one of those positive tests was admitted by her coach to belong to Chicherova.
On 6 October 2016, the IOC confirmed that Chicherova had failed a doping test, due to the
presence of turinabol in her 2008 sample, and stripped her of her medals won in 2008 and 2009.
