The other four were Dominican women's weightlifter Yudelquis Contreras, German cyclist Stephan Schumacher, Greek race walker Athanasia Tsoumeleka and Croatian 800m runner Vanja Perisic.

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.
