The results of the London Olympics are still changing more than 12 years later. Shannon Rowbury of the United States has taken another step toward a long-delayed bronze medal after Russian runner Tatyana Tomashova was officially disqualified from the women's 1,500 meters final at the London Olympics. The Athletics Integrity Unit says Tomashova didn't appeal against a doping ban she was given at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in September. The AIU adds the decision is "final and binding" in the records of World Athletics, and the International Olympic Committee has been informed.
