Olga Zaitseva, Olga Vilukhina and Yana Romanova were suspected of doping at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) acquitted Vilukhina and Romanova, but upheld the disqualification of Zaitseva.
Thus, the Russian national team lost the silver medal in the women's biathlon relay at the Sochi Olympics, but Vilukhina retained the silver medal won at the 2014 Games in the sprint race.
Earlier it was reported that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) redistributed the results of the women's biathlon relay at the Sochi Olympic Games.
