Norwegian curler feels 'robbed' of medal after Russian's failed doping test
A Norwegian curler who lost out on the Olympic bronze medal to a Russian charged with doping says he feels horrible knowing they may have been cheated out of a medal.
Magnus Nedregotten said Tuesday from Norway that if Alexander Krushelnitsky is found guilty, then he robbed the Norwegian team of their ''moment of glory.''
Krushelnitsky and his partner, Anastasia Bryzgalova, won the curling mixed doubles bronze medal last week after beating Nedregotten and his partner Kristin Skaslien 8-4. If Krushelnitsky is convicted of doping, he could be stripped of his medal. The Norwegians would then get the bronze.
Nedregotten says he's thought about his fourth-place finish every day.
He says, ''Now knowing that we may have been robbed and having to sit at home and wait to see what happens is obviously emotional and very stressful.''
