IOC: 31 caught in retests of 2008 Beijing Olympic samples


In a major doping crackdown stretching back eight years, 31 athletes in six sports could be barred from competing in this year's Olympics after they were caught in retesting of drug samples from the 2008 Beijing Games, and other positive cases could emerge from the 2012 London Games.

The Olympic body stores samples for 10 years to allow for retesting with improved techniques, with athletes caught facing retroactive disqualification and loss of any medals.

The IOC said it could not immediately identify the athletes caught in the Beijing retests for legal reasons, saying it would inform the relevant national Olympic committees in the coming days.

[roguejuror]

the police establishment are the biggest narcos, they create militias by zones and protect their turf, so it's more like gang wars

Golfer Rory McIlroy became one of the most high-profile sports stars to opt out of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics because of concerns about the Zika virus, saying Wednesday it is ''a risk I am unwilling to take.''

''After speaking with those closest to me, I've come to realize that my health and my family's health comes before anything else,'' the four-time major winner said in a statement released by his management company.

The fourth-ranked McIlroy was scheduled to play for Ireland as golf makes its return to the Olympics for the first time since 1904.

The 27-year-old McIlroy said this month that he and his fiancee, Erica Stoll, may consider starting a family ''in the next couple of years.''

''Even though the risk of infection from the Zika virus is considered low,'' McIlroy said, ''it is a risk nonetheless and a risk I am unwilling to take.''

Forget considering and just do it! People will be pumped knowing you will be having a party! I know it might be early to discuss, but what type of food you usually serve for this type of party?

I will be in Olympia one week prior.


The Olympics was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority.

Brazilian Feijoada in honor of the host country. Hamburgers and hotdogs in honor of the country that will win the most medals.
