Ms. Anastasia Kapachinskaya is a Russian Athlete competing the 400m Athletics event in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

In 2016, the IOC decided to perform further analyses on certain samples collected during the 2008 Olympic Games. These additional analyses were performed with analytical methods which were not available in 2008.

In May 2016 the International Olympic Committee reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after her 2008 A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substances stanozolol and dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol).

After notification the Athlete replied that she was not interested. She waved her right to be heard and did not file a statement in her defence.

7.) The Russian Olympic Committee shall notably secure the return to the IOC, as soon as possible, of the medals, the medallist pins and the diplomas awarded in connection with the Women 400m and in connection with the Women 4x400m relay to the Athlete and to the other team members of the Women 4 x 400m Russian Federation Team.
