Nine athletes suspended from Olympics for doping offences | | The world athletics governing body has suspended nine athletes ahead of the Olympic
Games for doping
offences. According to Sky News, nine track and field athletes have been suspended
for doping offences. Among them are three who were caught in re-tests of samples
from last year’s world championships. The sport’s governing body, the International
Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), said six were caught in biological
passport tests, which measure changes in an athlete’s blood profile. Eight of
the athletes have received two-year suspensions and one has been banned for four
years. IAAF President Lamine Diack said that the announcement shows that authorities will
“do everything in our power to eradicate cheating”.
