Andrea RADUCAN

Romania's Andreea Raducan has become perhaps more beloved since being stripped of the 2000 Olympic all-around gold medal than had she retained it.
The 17-year-old from Barlad lost her title in Sydney when tests revealed that the Nurofen cold tablets she had taken prior to the all-around contained a banned substance. The International Olympic Committee stripped Raducan of her all-around gold, but allowed her to retain the team gold and vault silver she earned. (Tests following the team and event finals portions came up negative.)
Upon her return to Romania following the Games, Raducan was embraced by her countrymen. Plans for a Raducan doll, as well as a book and a film about her life, were announced.
Raducan, who enjoys dogs and listening to disco music, has no plans to retire in spite of the scandal. In December, she took two gold medals at the World Cup Finals in Glasgow.
