4 more stripped off
lausanne: Eight years later, more athletes continue to be stripped of medals from the Beijing Olympics because of positive doping tests. Four athletes, including three Russians, had their medals taken away on Wednesday after their doping samples from 2008 were retested and came back positive for banned drugs. A total of six athletes — one runner and five weightlifters — were sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee based on reanalysis of their samples with improved techniques. The IOC stores samples for 10 years to allow them to be reanalyzed when improved methods become available. The new tests can detect the use of steroids going back weeks and months, rather than days.
