At a ceremony this week honoring silver medal-winner, Jefferson Pérez, Ecuadorian Olympic Committee President Danilo Carrera announced that we may see an announcement about doping by the two Russian race walkers in Beijing in the next few days, which would mean the gold medal for Pérez . Carrera didn’t reveal the source of that information.
Pérez finished 2nd at the 2008 Olympics to Valeriy Borchin of Russia. Pérez’ time of 1:19:15, a season’s best, was 14 seconds behind Borchin’s winning time of 1:19:01.
