Beijing Olympians face futher tests
The International Olympic Committee will use newly developed drug testing
procedures to retest samples taken from athletes at last summer's Beijing
Olympic Games, the IOC said.
The IOC will begin testing the Beijing samples at its labs in January, with results expected at the end of the first quarter of 2009, the IOC said.
The new drug testing procedures will allow the IOC to test for two banned substances known to have been used in the past by athletes in endurance events like cycling, rowing, swimming and athletics, the IOC said.
