Updated: 2009-05-01 22:14 BEIJING -- The six more athletes were all identified for doping at the Beijing Olympic Games although the International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not name them or the sports involved.
National sports bodies in Bahrain and Italy confirmed Wednesday that 1,500m champion Rashid Ramzi and road race medalist Davide Rebellin were among the six for positive for the new blood-boosting drug CERA in retests of their samples.
If their backup "B" samples also come back positive, the athletes face being disqualified, stripped of medals and banned from the next Olympics. The six new cases bring to 15 the total number of athletes caught doping in the Beijing Olympics. The IOC reanalyzed a total of 948 samples from Beijing after new lab tests for CERA and insulin became available following the Olympics. The testing began in January and focused mainly on endurance events in cycling, rowing, swimming and track and field. |
