Sonia O'Sullivan - European 5k Champ 2002??

For anyone following the trial of Dr Fuentes, reports are coming out of documented evidence that Marta Dominguez was a patient/client of his since 1997 and up to at least 2005.

It seems to be a pretty damning piece of evidence against her. I'm not sure if there is enough evidence to retroactively take medals from her but if it turns out there is, Sonia O'Sullivan will be one of those who will receive medals they earned with a gold in the 2002 European 5k champs.

Yes, Dominguez is in the sh*t and the news doesn't really come as any surprise. Hopefully Sonia and others will have their rightful medals granted to them in due course.
The best part is where the documents dating from 2005 allegedly link Dominguez to a doping plan which specifically earmarks the dates of importance that year to coincide with the Seville International meet, Rome Golden Gala, Madrid and then 10-13 August (schedule for women's steeplechase at the Helsinki World Championships).
Even her dog Urco is giving evidence against her
The game is well and truly up!

What's the likelihood that she'll get stripped and Sonia will be upgraded?
