@Vektor Polish press has just written on the Chinatown matter.

Thanks! Have a good day.

Didn't want to get ahead of myself, but now that the information is official:

 

Anežka Drahotova, Czech 20km walking star is probably going to be suspended as she was tested positive for doping 12 days before the European Championships in 2018.

 

Which would mean that Brigita Virbalytė-Dimšienė would be bumped up to bronze and Živilė Vaiciukevičiūtė (already retired) would be up to 4th place in the championships.

 

Test A was positive and test B is going to be examined at a further date, but seems like the results are almost set in stone.

In case anyone is interested in translating for themselves, this is from the POV of Brigita Virbalytė-Dimšienė.

 

Fun fact, Drahotova after the European Championships started training together with Brigita. She added a lot of thoughts that everybody behind the scenes were talking about Drahotova's former coach and how untrustworthy he seemed as well as adding that everyone knew it was strange that an 18/19yo race-walker was posting these amazing results. 

 

She also talked about how she got the news from her coach that her training partner is suspended and that she is now the likely recipient of the bronze medal.
