The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) announced the deprivation of Russia's gold medal at the World Athletics Championships, which Moscow hosted in 2013.

The reason for this was the positive doping test of the participant of the relay team Antonina Krivoshapki.

In addition, the athlete is deprived of personal "bronze" at a distance of 400 meters and is disqualified for 2 years (since September 7, 2016).

The national team of Ukraine, thus, rose to one position in the final protocol. The team of Daria Pristupy, Olga Lyakhova, Alina Logvinenko and Natalia Pygidi is now in 4th place.

In addition to Krivoshapka, the IAAF confirmed the 2-year disqualifications of Eugene Kolodko (shot put), Anna Bulgakova (throwing a hammer), Vera Ganeyeva (throwing a disc) and Dmitry Starodubtsev (pole vaulting).

The pusher of the Kolodko core, apart from the elimination from the competitions, was taken away the "silver" of the Olympic Games - 2012.
