IOC announces 16 more positive doping tests from Beijing 2008

Sixteen more positive doping cases from the 2008 Olympics in Beijing have been confirmed, with all but one coming from Russia or a former Soviet republic.

There are three silver and seven bronze medallists among them but no champions, although one of the 16, Russian high jumper Elena Slesarenko won an Olympic gold at the 2004 Games in Athens which she keeps as that is beyond the statute of limitations for anti-doping cases.
