Could Olympic medals be awarded if other athletes have been banned?

After Russian athletes failed recent doping retests, some could be re-awarded medals.

One person who potentially has been impacted is Goldie Sayers who finished fourth in the javelin in Beijing, behind a Russian athlete who reportedly has now tested positive for a banned substance.

Sayers has been speaking about how she found out the news that she could be in line to receive a bronze medal.
