98 Athletes Doped in 2008 and 2012 Olympics

Almost 100 athletes are suspected of using banned substances during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and the 2012 games in London, the International Olympic Committee announced Friday. The new test results follow a May review in which 53 athletes from 12 countries were found to have doped. Friday’s announcement included 45 additional athletes, bringing the total to 98. The IOC did not immediately reveal the names of those implicated. “The new analysis once again shows the commitment of the IOC in the fight against doping,” the organization’s president, Thomas Bach, said.
