The funniest thing is the fact that she was already banned for taking different stuff in the past.

For all those who so optimistically announced the Olympics to have been "successful", well, definitely they were successful in the organizational sense (security etc) but in the sport dimension I wouldn't call them 100% successful.
If you had watched it, you would know that several competitions ended with some scandalous decisions, to name a few: men's judo, men&women's weightlifting, women's fencing, men's swimming and last but not least - women's hammer throw 3 days ago.
