Disgraced Belarusian shot-putter Nadzeya Ostapchuk has handed back her Olympic gold medal as her former coach admits to doping her food without her knowledge.
Ostapchuk was stripped of her London Olympics gold medal the day of the closing ceremony, after testing positive in two separate drug tests at the games, and New Zealand's Valerie Adams was then promoted to the top spot.
Ostapchuk earlier said she was "framed" after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, pointing the finger at a former head athletics coach who was arrested this year by the Belarusian KGB.
It would appear her replacement coach however was the one to have "dusted her food" with the anabolic steroid metenalone.
Alyksandr Yefimov told Belarusian news website Charter 97 when Ostapchuk failed to perform in the months leading up to the Olympics, he began dusting her food with the drug.
"I will change my surname from Yefimov to Idiot. I will give you no more comments at this stage," Yefimov said.

Ah. A surname with a long and distinguished heritage in politics and government. I'm sure he'll go far.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Which for no good reason reminds me of the joke that's doing the rounds in South Africa. "You have to admire that Caster Semenya's performance. She worked her balls off for that medal"
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
