Russia’s Liliya Shobukhova was stripped of her London and Chicago marathon titles

after the IAAF said that all her results since 2009 had been annulled and her

two-year doping ban extended by 14 months.

Shobukhova "won" the 2010  London marathon

and was second in 2011. She "won" the Chicago Marathon three times straight from 2009 to 2011
