doping

The shot put was not excluded from the doping problem either, Belarusian athletes were affected in both cases:

The initially victorious Nadseja Astaptschuk was convicted of doping fraud for the third time. She was banned from all competitions for four years and narrowly escaped a life ban.
Natallja Michnewitsch , who initially came second , had also been exposed as a doping offender earlier - as was the case at these European championships.

The main victims were the three athletes who received their well-earned medals much later:

Anna Avdejewa , Russia - received gold instead of bronze
Janina Prawalinskaja-Karoltschyk , Belarus - moved up from fourth to silver
Olga Iwanowa , Russia - Bronze instead of fifth

In addition, two participants in the final would have allowed three more attempts each:

Helena Engman , Sweden
Mariam Kewchishvili , Georgia

There were no athletes here who were denied entry to the finals by the doping fraudsters.
