The International Olympic Committee confirmed the names of 17 athletes, who were suspected of using doping during 2012 London Olympic Games.
Hripsime Khurshudyan, bronze winner in +75kg weightlifting event, is also on this list.
Her samples tested positive for the prohibited substances turinabol and stanozolol. IOC medical staff re-affirmed the results and noted that the athlete is disqualified, and the National Olympic Committee of Armenia should return her bronze medal as soon as possible.
The International Weightlifting Federation will decide if Khurshudyan can return to big sport.
