"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The International Association of Athletics Federations has officially confirmed that all competitive results set by Russian marathoner&amp;nbsp;Liliya Shobukhova as of Oct. 9, 2009 have been disqualified due to doping allegations.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shobukhova has been stripped of her 2009, 2010 and 2011 Chicago Marathon wins as well as her 2010 London Marathon victory, organizers confirmed to &lt;em&gt;Sports Illustrated&lt;/em&gt; on Thursday. She is also banned from competing until March 2016.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Russian Athletic Federation first reported abnormalities in Shobukhova's biological passport, used to detect doping over a period of time, in April 2014.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Chicago Tribune&lt;/em&gt;'s Phil Hersh was the first to report Shibukhova's title stripping.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CWe will take action through the English courts to recover the prize and appearance money paid to Shobukhova in 2010 and 2011,\u201D said Nick Bitel, chief executive of the London Marathon. \u201CWe will do everything we can to ensure cheats are caught and do not benefit from cheating, and we continue to work closely with the IAAF and other authorities to improve out-of-competition drug testing.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;IAAF&amp;nbsp;\u2018strongly refutes\u2019 doping allegations made in new documentary&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Chicago Marathon has already taken steps to annul Shobukhova from their record books.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CWe have received official notification from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) of Liliya Shobukhova\u2019s ban,\u201D said Carey&amp;nbsp;Pinkowski, executive race director of the Chicago Marathon. \u201COur race continues to be a strong advocate for strict anti-doping measures, and while upsetting, this is an example of why these measures are in place and why we believe in increased out-of-competition drug testing.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is up to Shobukhova to return the prize money. Race organizers are not responsible for reallocating the earnings that Shobukhova accumulated over the years ahead of other athletes, according to IAAF rule 40.8.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a recent ARD German television documentary, Shobukhova was accused of paying off Russian doping officials.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Leaked blood tests reveal massive doping suspicions in distance running&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Revised results:\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Irina Mikitenko (GER) is the new 2009 Chicago Marathon champion.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atsede Baysa&amp;nbsp;(ETH) is the new 2010 Chicago Marathon champion.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aselefech Mergia (ETH)\u200B is the new 2010 London Marathon champion.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ejegayehu Dibaba\u200B (ETH) is the new 2011 Chicago Marathon champion.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
