Doping

At the 2004 Summer Olympics, she originally won the gold medal in shot put, but tested positive for stanozolol and was stripped of the medal. She later received a life ban from the IAAF in a Memorandum of 21 September 2005. Korzhanenko refused to return the gold medal,[2] despite the pressure of the International Athletics Federation's officials. As of 2023, she has not returned the gold medal.[3]
