Katsiaryna Artsiukh	Belarus|1995BRAPOLROUKSA Age falsification Two athletes subsequently lost their medals as a result of fraudulently misstating their age on official documents: Bahrain's 2006 steeplechase silver medallist Tareq Mubarak Taher and Morocco's Ahmed Baday. In addition to this, later analysis of Moses Kiptanui's age when having won the 1990 1500m showed he was marginally over age at the time of his victory, though this result has not been rescinded. Title defenses Given the age limitations on the competition it is rare that athletes get the opportunity to defend previous individual titles. A total of 22 athletes have managed this feat, eight of them men and fourteen women. In addition to this Anita Weyermann won the 3000 m title after taking the 1500 m title two years earlier.
