Raducan took drug for a cold

SYDNEY, Australia - International Olympic Commission Director General Francois Carrard speaks in a television news conference Sept. 26 on the decision to strip Romanian gymnast Andreea Raducan of her all-round Olympic gold medal after she tested positive for a banned drug. Carrard said Raducan had taken the over-the-counter medicine Nurofen for a cold in all innocence and that she had gained no competitive advantage from the stimulant pseudo-ephedrine that it contained.
