Four years later Ostapchuk won gold in London, only to test positive for anabolic steroids days after competition with Adams being upgraded to the gold medal.
In between the two failed tests at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, Ostapchuk defeated Adams at the World Indoor Championships in 2010.
The 2008 failed drug test is the third for Ostapchuk who also was disqualified of her 2005 world title following a positive test in 2013.
In 2013, Adams said she will never forgive Ostapchuk who denied her the chance to stand on the podium in London and receive the gold medal.
"I was quite sad and depressed,'' the Adams said.
"A lot of emotions went through me but I think one thing is I never forgave her and I never will.
"She's tainted the sport, she's tainted our event and it's something she shouldn't have done.
"The worst thing about it for me was she took the moment away. That's probably what hurts the most.''
As it stands Adams is the only medal winner from the 2008 event and the only original medal winner from the 2012 event after London bronze medallist Yevgeniya Kolodko also failed a drug test and was stripped of her medal.
