3:20.40The British, disappointed, finished fifth with 3: 22.68. In post-tests of the doping samples from 2008, the Russian runners Tatjana Firowa and Anastassija Kapatschinskaja were found to have the doping agents Stanozolol and Turinabol. In 2016 the Russian team were subsequently disqualified and the silver medal was revoked. The Belarusian team originally took fourth place, but was also convicted of doping. Therefore, Jamaica advanced to silver and Great Britain to bronze.
