Athletics

Russia sent a team of 106 track and field athletes, 48 men and 58 women, to these games. On 31 July 2008, Yelena Soboleva, Tatyana Tomashova, Yuliya Fomenko, Darya Pishchalnikova, and Gulfiya Khanafeyeva were provisionally suspended by IAAF for doping offenses.[3] Nine medals won by Russians in athletics at the 2008 Olympics were later stripped due to doping violations.

Road

Alexandr Kolobnev finished fourth in the men's road race, but as Italian Davide Rebellin, who won the silver medal, was stripped of that medal for testing positive for CERA after the event, the possibility exists for Kolobnev's placing to be upgraded.[14]
