Rio Olympics 2016: Russia’s Yulia Efimova beaten to gold by Lilly King of USA

Controversial Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova was 1xbet beaten to Olympic gold by Lilly King of the USA in the women’s 100m breaststroke on Tuesday.
Efimova, 24, was allowed to compete at Rio after successfully appealing against a doping suspension.
She arrived to boos before losing to King, who swam an Olympic record of one minute 4.93 seconds.
Efimova was banned for 16 months in 2013 after traces of an anabolic steroid were found in her system.
The International Olympic Committee had ruled any Russian athlete who had been sanctioned for doping would be banned from competing in Rio, but Efimova appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
Earlier this year she was given a provisional ban after testing positive for meldonium, but the International Swimming Federation lifted the suspension after advice from the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).
Cas has ruled that athletes cannot be banned from Rio solely on the basis that they have been previously sanctioned.
There had appeared to be some aggravation between King and Efimova in the build-up to the final.
After winning the first semi-final on Sunday, Efimova celebrated by wagging her finger. King, who had performed the same move earlier in the day, was captured on television watching Efimova. She then waved her finger in response.
After winning gold, King said: “It just proves 1xbet that you can compete clean and still come out on top with all the work you put in.
“There is a way to become the best and do it the right way.”
