OTHER NEWS

LAUSANNE (SUI):  Shot put olympic winner Valerie Adams will turn down the chance to be presented with her London 2012 Olympic gold medal in front of a crowd watching an All Blacks rugby match and instead wants to receive it in Lausanne next week, she has said. The New Zealander was upgraded to first position in the shot after Belarusian Nadzeya Ostapchuk, the woman who won originally, was stripped of the title following a positive test for anabolic steroids. Adams has revealed that she would like to receive the medal at the Stade Olympique de la Pontaise in Lausanne during the Samsung Diamond League meeting on August 23. But her hopes are set to be dashed because Ostapchuk is threatening to appeal against the decision to disqualify her because she claims she is an innocent victim. Ostapchuk claims she is the victim of a conspiracy and is set to appeal against the decision to strip her of the Olympic gold medal. She has claimed Belarus’s former head coach Anatoly Baduyev, who was arrested by Russia’s Federal Security Service in June under suspicion of embezzlement, is behind her positive test.

LINZ (AUT): Austrian media are informing that olympic long jump winner Greg Rutherford cancelled his participation. But the men 400 m field was highly upgraded by first and second from the London hurdles race Felix Sanchez and Michael Tinsley. US olympic bronze winner Justin Gatlin as per Kronen Zeitung was in hospital after having high fever and stomach problems. His participation at the meet on Monday remains under question.
