The pictures above show Tatyana Kotova during the final of the women's Long Jump
at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki. Remarkably she won the
silver medal for the third World Championships in a row.
However, in 2013 samples from the 2005 World Championships were retested and
Kotova was found to have been doping. She was stripped of her silver medal
.
