Thomas Bach: I’ll keep dopers out of Rio Olympics

International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach has vowed to keep the dopers away from Rio after positive tests were returned on 23 athletes who competed at London 2012.

The reanalysis of 265 selected doping samples follows work with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and respective international federations since August 2015.

It was mainly focused on athletes who could potentially participate in Rio and seems certain to lead to bans from this summer’s Olympics.
