Natalya Ivanovna Sadova (Russian: Наталья Ивановна Садова, née Koptyukh, born 15 July 1972 in Gorky) is a Russian discus thrower who has competed in many Olympic Games.[1]
She originally won the gold medal at the 2001 World Championships in Athletics,[2] 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.[5]
Her best discus throw was 70.02 meters on 23 June 1999, at the Olympic meet in Thessaloniki, Greece.[1]
