Sample re-tests until 2022: IOC

The re-testing of samples from the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia to identify any cheats who had competed there will last another five years to 2022, the International Olympic Committee said.

The IOC is re-testing samples from the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Games as well as the Vancouver 2010 and Sochi winter Olympics to root out any doping offenders. More than 100 have so far seen their sample test positive from Beijing and London alone, with dozens of medals having been stripped so far. —
