In August 2015, the Turkish Athletic Federation confirmed that an anti-doping test sample collected from Elvan Abeylegesse, who originally finished in second place, had been retested and found to be positive for a controlled substance. Abeylegesse had been temporarily suspended pending retesting of her "B-sample". [1] On 29 March 2017, the International Association of Athletics Federations confirmed the positive test and expunged Abeylegesse's results from 25 August 2007 until 25 August 2009. [2] Kara Goucher was upgraded from bronze to silver and Jo Pavey was awarded the bronze medal, 10 years after the original race. [3]
