More news on the subject..

Russian Irina Korzhanenko will lose her gold (Shot-putter) after testing positive for a banned steroid.

Robert Fazekas from Hungary will lose his gold medal in discus after tampering with his dope test.

Aleksej Lesnitjij from Belarus has also tested positive for  
banned substances. He is a high-jumper and ended last in the qualifying group.


I just hope we will get to keep our two gold medals. :D

I feel extremely sad that Leonidas(greek weight lifter) has lost his bronze medal.He was accused for external use of testosterone but it is so unfair that things look like he was set up. :(
He was negative before he won the medal.A bit afterwards he was found positive of high levels of testosterone.Testosterone doesnt do anything if you take it a few hours before the match and other weightlifters find it illogical for such an action.Then the next day he was found positive.Someone has given him a lemonade witnesses said the day he won and reporters and people came for autographs that day and surrounded him while this is not allowed.And no one has done anything to prevent it.

WHy don\'t they periodically test the athletes over the course of 4 years so we don\'t have to worry about this stuff?  Is that too muchh to ask... a random test every 6 months.

Specifically weight lifters pass the most tests than any other athlete.
I dont know what kind of tests or when they do to others

They do in most countries. But in some the medals are so important that they secretly accept cheating and have next to no tests.
