TF Shannon Rowbury may get upgraded to bronze for 2012 Olympic 1500

The PA’s Shannon Rowbury may end up with an Olympic bronze medal from the London 2012 Women’s 1500m. Rowbury, who originally finished in 6th place, saw her saw her official finish moved up to 4th as the gold and silver finishers, Asli Cakir Alptekin and Gamze Bulut (both representing Turkey) were disqualified for doping violations. Tatyana Tomashova, representing Russia, was then moved from 4th into the silver medal position with Abeba Aregawi moving into bronze. Now, The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced Tuesday that an arbiter imposed a 10-year ban on Tomashova, plus the disqualification of all of her results from June 21, 2012, to Jan. 3, 2015, in a case involving retesting of out-of-competition drug test samples from June 21, 2012 and July 17, 2012. If this ban is upheld Rowbury will receive the bronze medal.
