HOWEVER:
The IAAF reported in December 2015 that Andrianova would be retroactively suspended
for testing positive for the performance-enhancing drug stanozolol. The test invalidated
her results from August 9, 2005 through August 8, 2007. Her bronze medal from the
2005 World Championships in Athletics was awarded to fourth-place finisher
Maria Mutola of Mozambique.
