Samoa's Ele Opeloge assured of Olympic medal

Opeloge initially finished in fourth place in the women's over 75kg division at the 2008 Beijing Games.

But in August, a re-analysis of samples from eight years ago found the silver medallist, Olha Korobka from Ukraine, and bronze medallist, Mariya Grabovetskaya from Kazakhstan, tested positive for banned substances.

Korobka's provisional suspension has now been confirmed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), ensuring Ele Opeloge a podium finish.
