One Positive Sample Revealed From Vancouver Olympics Re-Tests

The IOC said on Monday that re-testing of more than a thousand samples from the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics "uncovered only one athlete to have taken banned substances," according to Karolos Grohmann of REUTERS. The organization said that it conducted re-tests of 1,195 urine samples, "including those of all medallists from the winter Games seven years ago as well as of all Russia athletes." In a statement, the IOC said, "Three adverse analytical findings, all coming from one athlete, are being taken forward for results management." It did not provide any details of the athlete in question, "nor of his or her sport or nationality." The low number of positive re-tests from Vancouver is "in stark contrast with the results from samples from the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics." More than 100 athletes tested positive in total in those re-tests and some 75 medals had to be reallocated (REUTERS, 10/9).
