LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Turkish weightlifter Sibel Ozkan has lost an appeal against a doping sanction that cost her a silver medal from the 2008 Beijing Olympics.Ozkan, who finished second in the womens 48-kilogram class in Beijing, tested positive for the steroid stanozolol in a reanalysis of her urine sample this year and was retroactively disqualified by the International Olympic Committee.She contended in her appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport that her positive test resulted from a contaminated protein supplement.CAS arbitrator Michael Beloff ruled there was no evidence of the contamination and that even if her claim were true, Ozkan had shown no due diligence in dealing with a supposedly contaminated supplement.Ozkan offered sensitive information about the Turkish Weightlifting Federation in exchange for a possible agreement with the respondent to dispose of this case, CAS said.If the IOC decides to reallocate the medals, Taiwans Chen Wei-Ling would receive silver, with bronze going to Im Jyoung-Hwa of South Korea.
