Doping

Eliane Pereira from Brazil was tested positive for Stanozolol, an anabolic steroid. Consequently she lost her gold medal in 1,500 m (in 4:33.19) and her silver medal in 3,000 m (in 9:52.42),[6] and was banned for two years.

Two further cases with enhanced Testosterone/Epitestosterone ratio were discovered (no medalists involved).[6]
