**
Norwegian rider Tony André Hansen was stripped of his Olympic bronze medal in team jumping Dec 23, 2008, after his horse tested positive for a banned drug at the Beijing Games. The 29-year-old Hansen was the best performer in a four-rider Norwegian team which won bronze under a scoring system where the top three count. Without his scores, his teammates - Morten Djupvik, Stein Endresen, and Geir Gulliksen - drop out of medal contention into 10th place and Switzerland gets promoted to third. |
