It has been an interesting week in Olympic Doping News. On October 10th we reported that the IOC would be conducting 5,000 re-tests for CERA and other substances. It turns out that the number will be closer to 1,000 as only targeted samples will be re-tested. However it was also discovered this week that 300 samples from the Olympic games went missing. Not to worry though, as the IOC has now announced that all of the missing samples have been recovered and have been found negative in testing. Makes you feel real confident in the process doesn’t it?

October 11th, 2008 filed in Olympics, Track and FieldComment now »
Tim Montgomery, the disgraced former 100-meter world record holder, has been sentenced to five years in prison. The sentencing, which came on Friday from Virginia, follows his admission to distributing heroin. Montgomery admitted to BALCO investigators in 2003, to using a once undetectable steroid back in 2001. Despite not failing a drug test, the admission was enough to strip him of his 2000 Sydney Olympic gold medal in the 4×100m relay, and his 100m world record from 2002.
