LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Russian high jumper Anna Chicherova was stripped of her bronze medal from the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Thursday, the latest athlete sanctioned after the retesting of stored doping samples.Chicherova, who won the gold medal at the 2012 London Games, tested positive for turinabol and has been retroactively disqualified from Beijing, the International Olympic Committee said.The Russian Olympic Committee should secure the return of her bronze medal as soon as possible, the IOC said.The IOC also asked tracks governing body, the IAAF, to consider any further sanctions against the 34-year-old Chicherova, who is still active but could face a two-year ban.Another Russian -- Yelena Slesarenko -- finished fourth in the high jump in Beijing. She stands to move up to the bronze if the IOC decides to reallocate the medals.The IOC ruling made no mention of Chicherovas gold medal from London, which appears to be unaffected. She told Russian media earlier this year that retests of her 2012 sample came back negative.The IAAF said it would cancel all of Chicherovas results from 2008 to 2010, including her silver medal at the 2009 world championships in Berlin. Chicherova won gold at the 2011 worlds.The IOC stores doping samples for 10 years to allow for them to be reanalyzed when improved testing methods become available. The new tests can detect the use of steroids going back weeks and months, rather than days.The IOC has recorded 98 positive cases in recent retests of more than 1,000 samples from Beijing and London.The IOCs 22-page written decision in the Chicherova case cited a pattern of delay and obstruction by the athlete and her legal team.The IOC first noted that the athlete and her counsel had been deliberately attempting to obstruct the process, first the analytical process and then the disciplinary proceedings, the ruling said.The IOC also noted that turinabol was a doping substance commonly used in Russia in the concerned period.Chicherova won the high jump at the Russian nationals in June, clearing 1.98 meters.She would have been a potential medal contender at the Rio Games. The IAAF banned the Russian track team -- apart from U.S.-based long jumper Darya Klishina -- from the games over allegations of state-sponsored doping. Brandon Tate Jersey .
