		Despite the episode leaving her shattered, Raducan was determined not to let the incident cut short her career and showed her mettle by leading Romania to the world championship team title in Ghent last year and also won gold on the balance beam and floor.
		Although Raducan received worldwide sympathy for her disqualification after the IOC acknowledged that the drug gave her no competitive advantage, it provided little consolation to the gymnast.
		But unlike her predecessors in the Olympics roll of drug users, Raducan is more likely to be remembered as a gymnast who was cheated out of a gold medal by an ignorant team doctor rather than a gymnast who cheated to win the title at all costs.

		Stripping Andreea Raducan of her gold medal for using a banned substance is a completely fair and correct decision made by the IOC.
		Unfortunately, for Raducan, she bore the brunt of the tough measures that have to be in place to try and stop the drug cheats even though she may not have been one herself.
		It is absurd that Raducan should have lost her gold this way while it is a known fact that the Americans have a drug problem and the IOC has done nothing about it.
