Was Andrew Steele cheated of an Olympic medal?

The Real Story

Available for over a year

Eight years after the Beijing Olympics, retrospective drug testing has found that a number of medal winners may have been using prohibited substances. That might win Andrew Steele a bronze medal at his first and only Olympics, after his British 4 x 400m relay team originally placed fourth. But what did not getting to stand on the podium in 2008 cost him? (Photo shows Andrew Steele at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Credit: Getty Images)
