After the Russian winner is stripped of title for doping, the Cork walker sees his fourth place become third
Race-walker - and former Hot Press interview subject - Rob Heffernan is celebrating this morning, as a decision to strip the winner of the Olympic 50k title has seen him upgraded to the bronze medal position.
The Corkman finished fourth in London, but the positive doping tests of Sergey Kirdyapkin led the Court of Arbitration for Sport to award the Togher AC man with third.
Better late than never, eh?!
The doping epidemic that has blighted walking was just one of the subjects discussed when Rob spoke to Stuart Clark in something of a landmark interview:
