"Lashmanova has accepted the sanctions proposed by the AIU," the AIU said in a statement.

The 20-kilometer race at the Olympics in London was, in the end, full of doped Russians.

Second place Olga Kaniskina has previously lost her silver medal due to doping, and also the race's fifth, Anisia Kirdjapkina, was washed.

Now the Chinese Qieyang Shenjie, originally a bronze medalist, can get the gold.

As early as 2014, Jelena Lasjmanova was suspended for two years for doping.

That time, it did not affect her previous medals.
