The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Wednesday said three more athletes have tested positive for doping in reanalysis of samples from the 2012 Olympic Games, including a Russian relay silver medalist.
IOC is the supreme authority of the worldwide Olympic movement, an international, non-profit, non-governmental organisation based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
IOC said Antonina Krivoshapka of the Russian 4×400 metres team, which finished second to the U.S., tested positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol).
It said that Russians would give up their silver medals as a result of the disqualification.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Russia had already lost the silver medal in the event from the 2008 Games due to doping violations.
The IOC is reanalysing over 1,000 doping samples from the 2008 and 2012 Games using improved analytical methods.
Another Russian, the discus thrower Vera Ganeeva, and Turkish boxer Adem Kilicci were also named as testing positive in retests of 2012 samples. (NAN)
