November 23, 2015 – Former Estonian XC skier Kristina Smigun-Vahi, who is under suspicion for doping, could be stripped of  two gold medals she won at the 2006 Turin Olympic Winter Games according to Norwegian television channel TV2, cites an article on baltic-course.com. If Smigun-Vahi is, indeed, stripped of the medals, Canada’s Beckie Scott would move up to fifth place in the Pursuit race. Scott has already retroactively received a gold medal from the 2002 Salt Lake City Games when both Russian women who finished ahead of her tested positive for banned substances.
