BEIJING, China -- A Kettering woman may now come home from Beijing with a silver medal after all.

A Ukrainian athlete, Lyudmila Blonska, has been stripped of her Olympic silver medal in the heptathlon for doping. Blonska tested positive for a steroid after finishing second in the heptathlon last Saturday.

She was temporarily suspended by the International Olympic Committee on Thursday and dropped from the long jump final. Her medal was officially removed Friday.

American Hyleas Fountain of Kettering is in line to take the heptathlon silver, with Russia's Tatiana Chernova moving from fourth to bronze.
