Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill will receive her third World Championship gold medal in London this summer.

Tatyana Chernova originally took the gold in the heptathlon in Daegu in 2011, but has since been stripped of her title amid a ban for blood doping offences.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has annulled all results awarded to Chernova between August 15, 2011 and July 22, 2013.

The 29-year old Russian has been banned from the sport for three years and eight months, from February 5, 2016.

She has also had to renounce the two bronze medals won in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

Six years on from the event, Ennis-Hill, 31, will receive her third and final World Championship medal in front of a home crowd.

This will be Ennis-Hill's third world heptathlon title following her decision to retire from athletics in October last year.
