Ukrainian biathlete Vita Semerenko almost four years after the end of the Winter Olympics-2014 in Sochi will receive a silver medal. At the sprint competitions to the finish, she came third. The International Olympic Committee automatically awarded her the second place after the disqualification of Russian woman Olga Viluhina for violating the anti-doping rules.

This is stated in the plot of the TSN. Ranok.

Yesterday, November 27, the Olympic Committee, because of the use of doping, for life forbade five more Russian athletes to participate in the Games. This time in the "black list" were: skeletonist Sergei Chudinov, bobsledder Alexei Negodailo and Dmitry Trunenkov, biathletes Yana Romanova and Olga Viluhina. Accordingly, Russia lost two gold and three silver medals, which they won at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.

Recall that in November because of the violation of anti-doping rules for life were disqualified more than ten Russian athletes. This happened after the former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov handed the International Olympic Committee information about the work of his department. Rodchenkov said that the Russian doping conspiracy was organized and financed directly by the Ministry of Sport of Russia. If the data are confirmed, then the Russian Federation may lose the right to participate in the 2018 Olympics.
