MOSCOW -- Seven years after the race of her life at the world track and field championships, Olive Loughnane is still waiting for her prize money.Thats because the first woman across the finish line in the 20-kilometer walk in Berlin in 2009 wasnt the Irish athlete. It was Russias Olga Kaniskina, who was later banned for doping but hasnt returned the gold medal or the $30,000 in cash owed to Loughnane.Ive three young children, Loughnane said. They will be going to college. Its not an insignificant amount. I didnt earn anywhere near the amount of money as an athlete that would allow me to retire.Athletes who are beaten by doped competitors arent only robbed of a moment on the top step of the podium as their national anthem plays, they can also be deprived of large sums of money. In the cases of four Russian and Belarusian dopers who have not paid back prize money from events where they were later disqualified, The Associated Press has found that as much as $410,000 may be owed to dozens of athletes, with some debts going back over a decade.The problem is expected to intensify with the increase in retesting of medal winners samples years after the competition. About 100 athletes from various sports have had their results from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics annulled following new tests with improved techniques.While the Olympics do not award prize money, doping disqualifications usually trigger backdated bans wiping out years of results and earnings from past world championships and other events.In track and field, the problem is particularly serious because the sports world governing body, the IAAF, insists it can only redistribute prize money if the athlete banned for doping pays it back first. However, the IAAFs main weapon to compel dopers to pay back the money is an extension of their bans, which isnt effective if the athletes plan to retire or have been banned for life.In response to questions from the AP, the IAAF would not confirm how many doped athletes owe prize money or how much is owed in total, or how it tries to recover the cash. However, it said the issue was on the agenda as part of reform talks set for the IAAF congress this week in Monaco.We are already consulting the athletes commission and other members of the IAAF family on a viable system that would satisfy all parties. We are confident that the changes and proposals we are compiling will be reflected in the next IAAF Competition Rules, the IAAF said in a statement.Seven years after her race against Kaniskina in Berlin, the long-since-retired Loughnane now compiles crime statistics for the Irish government. Meanwhile, Kaniskina is working as a sports official and may decide that, at the age of 31, its not worth paying back her winnings in order to race again, Russias top walking coach told Russian media this month. Kaniskina earned around $135,000 in prize money at events where she was later disqualified.She hasnt definitely ended her career. Shes still thinking, coach Nikolai Lukashkin told the R-Sport agency, adding that was also the case with another top Russian walker, Sergei Kirdyapkin, who is supposed to pay back a total of at least $90,000 from numerous wins at major competitions after he was banned in 2015.Former senior IAAF leaders have been accused of colluding with Russian officials to cover up doping or slow down cases, including those involving Kaniskina and Kirdyapkin. The IAAF banned its former treasurer and anti-doping head in January, as well as the son of former IAAF President Lamine Diack.Citing those findings, some athletes argue the IAAF should make a one-time payment to clear prize money debts as a gesture of goodwill.This is not only about doping abuse in Russia, this is about corruption in the IAAF, said Trond Nymark of Norway, who finished second to Kirdyapkin at the 2009 world championships but was later upgraded to gold. Of course, itll cost them, but if you think in marketing value, it would probably pay off.Denmarks Joachim Olsen told the AP he was still owed $10,000 from the 2006 world indoor championships, when he originally won bronze in shot put but was upgraded to silver when Andrei Mikhnevich of Belarus failed a retest. However, Mikhnevich is banned for life for two doping offenses, so has nothing to gain from paying back over $100,000 in prize money.Like race walking, Olsens event rarely attracts big endorsements, making prize money all the more important.Thats a lot of money. Prize money was something that I would save up. You could have a bad year, injuries and stuff, so I used it as a kind of a backup. You didnt make a lot of money, so I lived in a small apartment and tried to save up, said Olsen, who since retirement in 2009 has become a member of the Danish parliament and is sharply critical of the IAAFs approach.For the individual athlete that got cheated out of a medal and prize money, their concern doesnt seem that big. Its more of an image thing for the IAAF and not a concern for the individual athlete that got cheated out of both a medal and prize money, and thats a real shame, he said.Others are considering a lawsuit.As well as a gold medal from the 2012 London Olympics, Tunisian 3,000-meter steeplechase runner Habiba Ghribi, is owed at least $38,000 from events in which she was beaten by Russias Yulia Zaripova, who was later banned for doping and disqualified.I took (the news) with a feeling of joy, because these titles are now in my legacy for life, but also with frustration at having been deprived of the opportunity to climb the highest stand on the podium, and to hear the national anthem of my country, Ghribi told the AP.Ghribi is threatening legal action to get the money, but isnt certain where to file a lawsuit -- against the Monaco-based IAAF, against Zaripova in Russia or against the organizers of meets held in Switzerland, Sweden and South Korea. The many jurisdictions, combined with a lack of legal precedent, present a stern challenge to athletes who want the prize money they are owed. The long time periods involved also mean some drug cheats have already spent their winnings.First of all youre trying to figure out where to file a legal action and then youre trying to figure out how to enforce it across multiple jurisdictions, sports lawyer David W. Larkin told the AP. The whole thing is an absolute nightmare.While few athletes are eager to pick a legal fight with their sports governing body, one strategy could be to pursue the IAAF for negligently failing to bar doped athletes from competing.If the IAAF did recover prize money through the courts, its rules allow it to subtract its legal costs from the sum that would be passed on to the rightful medalists.Ten years after losing out on a silver medal to Belarusian drug cheat Mikhnevich, Olsen isnt expecting to be paid any time soon. He says the IAAF is letting clean athletes down.Even if I had won the lottery, and I had plenty of money, which I didnt, its more of a principle, he said. They should pay the money to those that actually won it.---Bouazza Ben Bouazza in Tunis, Tunisia, contributed to this report. Wholesale Raiders Jerseys . The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. Cheap Raiders Jerseys . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.cheapraidersjerseysauthentic.com/ . Oyama had six birdies and two bogeys at Kintetsu Kashikojima in the event also sanctioned by the Japan LPGA Tour. "I have been having this neck ache thats been affecting my golf recently," Oyama said. Authentic Raiders China Jerseys . "I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- DeShone Kizer was running to celebrate what he hoped would be the game-winning touchdown when he found himself grappling in a pile of bodies trying to recover a fumble with the score tied and two minutes left.The 6-foot-4, 230-pound junior somehow muscled his way to the ball after tight end Durham Smythe fumbled near the goal line, allowing Notre Dame to keep possession so Justin Yoon could kick a 23-yard field goal with 30 seconds left to give the Irish a 30-27 victory over Miami on Saturday.One of the things I was looking for from him wasnt whether he could run another dig route. We needed some more toughness from him, some mental toughness, coach Brian Kelly said. Thats an indication. He was not going to be denied. He was going to find a way to get that football.Kizer didnt sound as though he had a strong grasp of the ball, saying a Miami player was kicking it as he tried to get a grip.The refs came in and started yelling white and then I heard one blue and as soon as I heard one blue I let go of the ball to allow them to not see anymore. Because obviously that guy had one leg, all 10 fingers and maybe his chin on the ball, Kizer said.The victory ended a three-game losing home streak for the Irish (3-5), who rallied back after squandering a 20-point lead.Notre Dame outgained Miami 143-2 in total yards in jumping to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and extended the lead to 20-0 early in the second quarter. But special teams turned it around for Miami.It began when Travis Homer recovered a punt after it bounced off Notre Dames Tony Pride Jr. and the Hurricanes scored four plays later on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Brad Kaaya to David Njoku.Miami scored on the opening possession of the second half and continued to rally.Everyone just let it cut loose at all positions, Kaaya said. The o-line played a little bit better and we were able to run the ball a little bit better, and that opened things up for me. We made good plays and guys finally woke up.The Hurricanes capped the 27-0 run when Miamis Michael Jackson recovered a botched punt in the end zone for the go--ahead touchdown with 6:49 left.dddddddddddd But the Hurricanes (4-4) couldnt finish it off.From that point on, Notre Dame pretty much took the game over, and we werent able to get the job done on either side of the ball, Miami coach Mark Richt said.The Irish tied the score less than a minute later when on third-and-1 Josh Adams bounced out of the pile and raced in for a 41-yard touchdown.There wasnt a belief, when I looked in the eyes of every one of those players, that they werent going to figure out and find a way to win, Kelly said.THE TAKEAWAYMiami: The Hurricanes, who gave up eight sacks against Virginia Tech, struggled along the offensive line early, and were held to a season-low 18 yards after being held to 42 yards rushing against the Hokies. The Hurricanes came up big on special teams with the recovery of a punt by Homer after it bounced off Pride to set up Miamis first touchdown, and a partially blocked punt by linebacker Zach McCloud that set up a field goal. Miami also recovered an onside kick.Notre Dame: The Irish finally had a game where their offense and defense played well but still struggled with special team gaffes. The Irish entered the game 125th in the nation in sacks with six in seven games, but sacked Kaaya five times.We do sack the quarterback here at Notre Dame. So for you guys that didnt think that that happened, we do sack the quarterback, Kelly said.SETTING THE TONEDefensive tackle Jarron Jones set the tone for the Irish, making three tackles for loss and deflecting a pass in the first five plays by Miami. Jones finished with seven tackles, including six for loss. The Irish finished with 12 tackles for loss, the most since they had 12 against Syracuse in 2005.UP NEXTMiami: The Hurricanes return to Atlantic Coast Conference play against Pittsburgh, a team it has beaten nine of the past 10 games.Notre Dame: The Irish face Navy in Jacksonville, Florida, a team it has beaten five straight after losing two of the previous three.
