Boulder runner Kara Goucher may soon be named the 2007 IAAF World Championships silver medalist in the 10,000 meters.
The woman who took silver on the day of the race, Turkish runner Elvan Abeylegesse, may have to forfeit her medal because of an emerging doping scandal. Abeylegesse was among a group of 28 athletes whose samples were retested and found to have "adverse findings," Sports Illustrated reported.
If Abeylegesse is stripped of her medal, Briton Jo Pavey would be named the bronze medalist. (Ethiopian Tirunesh Dibaba took the gold that day.)
The IAAF hasn't officially name any of the athletes under suspicion, but Abeylegesse's name was leaked to the press, and SI says Turkish Athletics has confirmed Abeylegesse's identity. Here's a video clip of the Turkish runner approaching the finish line that day in 2007:
