The retired triple jumper Piyi Devetzi, 39, could be stripped of her Olympic silver and bronze medals after Greece’s track and field federation (Segas) said on Wednesday she had failed a doping test.

“The international federation [the IAAF] informed Segas that Piyi Devetzi retested positive on a sample taken in 2007,” Segas said in a statement. “Following this development the federation has opened disciplinary proceedings against her.”
Devetzi retired in 2009 after the International Association of Athletics Federations banned her for two years for refusing to undergo a doping test while she was training in Ukraine.
She won an Olympic silver medal in Athens in 2004 and a bronze in Beijing four years later.
Devetzi also claimed a world championship bronze in Osaka, Japan in 2007.
