Jo Pavey has thanked fans for their support after it emerged that she may be upgraded to third place for the 10,000m at the 2007 World Athletics Championships.
On Thursday, it emerged that Elvan Abeylegesse, who won silver in Osaka, was under investigation regarding possible doping, meaning that a guilty verdict would result in Pavey being promoted up to the bronze-medal position.
However, given the eight-year gap between the race and the retesting of 28 samples taken between 2005 and 2007, Pavey has indicated that the revelations about Abeylegesse are bittersweet.
Elvan Abeylegesse rumour now confirmed by Turkish federation. My emotions are all over the place. Thank you for all the nice messages

Pavey has previously won medals at the Commonwealth Games and European Championships, but as of yet, not on the world stage.
