In August 2016, the first-placed Kazakh girl Maija Manesa was convicted of doping fraud with stanozolol , whereupon the IOC stripped her of the gold medal. Further withdrawals followed on January 12, 2017 from the originally second-placed Turkish Sibel Şimşek and on April 5, 2017 from the Russian Swetlana Zarukajewa, who had meanwhile moved up to first place .
