Years Later, Bittersweet Victory for Alysia Montaño

Montaño, still competing at age 29 after giving birth to a daughter last year, agrees with the push to ban Russia. She also believes she deserves some medals after finishing fourth in the 800 meters at the 2011 world championships, fifth in the 2012 London Olympics and fourth again at the 2013 world championships. In all those cases, she finished behind Russians who now face lifetime bans from the sport.
