Natalya Ivanovna Sadova (Russian: Наталья Ивановна Садова), née Koptyukh (born July 15, 1972 in Gorky) is a Russian discus thrower who has competed in many Olympiads.
She won the gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics held in Athens, Greece in 2004, as well as a silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, and placed fourth in 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.[1] She also competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, immediately after serving a two-year ban for doping,[2] but failed to advance to the final round.[3]
She originally won the gold medal at the 2001 World Championships in Athletics, but lost it due to a positive drugs test for caffeine. She was later cleared and let off a suspension, but in May 2006 she tested positive for an anabolic steroid and accepted a ban.[2]
