Russian trio disqualified from Beijing Olympics after re-analysis of samples

Russia's appalling doping record continues to bring shame on the country as three more of its athletes were belatedly disqualified from the Beijing Olympics for testing positive in the re-analysis of samples from the last two Games.

The International Olympic Committee has re-tested hundreds of stored samples from 2008 and 2012 this year, catching 98 dopers, including 14 Russians from athletics alone.
