We got a medal from the beyond?  I'm not holding my breath just yet, cause it's weightlifting and it's Bulgaria and weightlifting none the less. Not your average smooth relationship.

most of historic performance were of athletes doped since 60's
they should remove all these medalists from the books

Canadian weightlifter Christine Girard will likely have her bronze from London upgraded to a gold due to the new doping evidence.  However, it'll probably take up to 2 years.  In her words:

 

 "It's bittersweet. I would have really liked to have had the proper ceremony, have our flag and hear that song that makes us cry on the podium, but at the same time I'm happy that it got cleared up."

 

She was not just robbed of the gold, she was robbed of that experience.  And who knows how many more will be after Rio due to the IOC's decision.  Like I said, maybe they should start doing victory ceremonies for the 4th and 5th places, too, especially when 'certain' athletes get a medal.  

 

Again in her words:

 

"I got tested any day, any time," added Girard. "Two days after my wedding they were at my house at six in the morning, woke up everybody in my house to test me. That's what we do in Canada, which can be annoying for athletes, but it's amazing because it's our values and we believe in true sport."

If you change "doping" to "cheating", the same thing goes for boxing

And this is why a complete ban would have been the only correct possibility! They still live in another world...
