A total of 52 Olympic medals (20 gold, 17 silver, 15 bronze) have been retroactively stripped from athletes relating to athletic events at the Summer Games. All of these were due to doping offences, and Russia is the chief offender; being stripped of 22 medals in athletic events. The U.S. and Belarus both been stripped of seven medals each, with five of the U.S.' seven medals taken from just one athlete (although her teammates in the relay events have retained their records and medals). Of these 52 medals, female athletes have been stripped of 36, which is more than double the number of those taken from male athletes. The events with the highest rate of offence tend to be throwing events and sprint-relays.
